A field experiment, in order to evaluate the performance of 11 chickpea (Cicer arietinum, L.) cultivated varieties was carried out in the La Estrella farm, Cooperative of Credit and Service “Eduardo Pérez Sánchez”, Las Tunas municipaliaty during december 2010 to march 2011. The cultivars evaluate were N-5 HA, NAC-6, NAC-24, NAC-29, NAC-30 NAC-31, NAC-37, J-96, Mocorito-88, L-25 and JP-94, (local genotype as control). A random block design with four replicates was employed for evaluating physiological and field indicators. The dry plant mass, number pots and grain by plant, and weight of 100 grains of Mocorito-88 cultivar were larger.
