Abstract: EMS is more suitable than SA for creating desirable productive Mutants in Cicer arientum. Desi variety found to be more suitable than Kabuli variety for Chemical Mutagenesis studies. 0.8% EMS remain suitable for both varieties of Ciecer arientum L. for increasing productivity. 0.06% and 0.08% SA also proved to be suitable for Kabuli variety in inducing variations.Desi variety shows maxium spectrum of variation than Kabuli variety, but both varieties have scope for Chemical Mutragenesis studies for increasing productivity of this Crop Species.Increased productive Mutagens and Gigas Mutant isolated during this research study will be useful in the dirction of prteinaceous food security in our country.
