Thirty chickpea lines were used to be screened through two winter seasons under two types of soil spots, the first is naturally infested with broomrape and the other is broomrape free soil.

In the first two seasons, the data of number of days to 50% flowering, 95% maturity were recorded and measurements of the critical traits such as number and weight of chickpea seeds were recorded as percentages related to value of the top yield line of chickpea (F97-229C), while number and weight of broomrape plants were recorded as percentages related to the top line of chickpea for its number and weight of broomrape spikes per host plant (L-382).

The results obtained reveal the response of 30 genotypes and lines of chickpea grown under both infestation of broomrape and free field plots in order to reach and chose the best tolerant and high yield lines of chickpea.
