Effect of Cultivars and Sowing Dates on Nutrient Uptake and Yield of Chickpea under Aberrant Climatic Conditions in Black Soils of Central India
Journal Title: Advances in Research - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
Field experiments were carried out in Indian Institute of Soil Science, Bhopal, India to identify the most suitable variety, appropriate sowing time and their subsequent interaction on nutrient uptake and yield performance in chickpea under rainfed conditions in black soils. There were two dates of sowing viz., first and second fortnight of November and four varieties of chickpea like, JG 16, JG 11, JG 315 and JG 218. The results shown that the nutrient uptake and yield were depending on the time of sowing. The nutrient uptake patterns showed that the first sowing date plants recorded greater nutrient uptake compared to the second date of sowing in both experiments. Among the varieties JG 315 recorded the highest nutrient uptake followed by JG 11. The yield obtained in both sowing dates shown that sowing at first fortnight of November was better and would give 14-29% more yield in chickpea. This study concluded that late sowing will reduce the nutrient uptake, dry matter production and yield irrespective of the varieties. Among the varieties the highest yield was recorded by the variety JG 11 irrespective of the date of sowing. and hence under late sowing conditions the variety JG 11 is preferred over other varieties.
