Response of new chickpea genotypes to different dates of sowing under irrigated conditions.

摘要

A field experiment was conducted during winter 2000-01 at Hisar, Haryana, India to evaluate the response of 4 chickpea genotypes (C 235, HC I, HC 3 and H 92-67) to different dates of sowing (20 October, 5 and 20 November and 5 and 20 December). Data were recorded for plant height, dry matter per plant, branches per plant, pods per plant, grains per pod, 100-grain weight, grain yield, straw yield and harvest index. In general, all parameters were highest with 5 November sowing and decreased with delay in sowing. C235 and HC I recorded significantly higher grain and straw yield than the other genotypes.
