Chickpea, also called garbanzo bean, is a cool-season annual pulse grown for protein-rich dry seeds. It performs best in well-drained neutral soil or deep containers, depends on Mesorhizobium nodulation for most nitrogen after establishment, and is most limited by heat during flowering, waterlogging, and Ascochyta blight.
