EFFECT OF DATES OF SOWING AND IRRIGATION LEVELS ON YIELD AND YIELD ATTRIBUTING CHARACTERS OF CHICKPEA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 20
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years 2014-15 and 2015-16 at Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, India with three dates of sowing and four irrigation levels. The sowing dates D1-15th October, D2- 30th October and D3- 15th November with irrigation levels treatments namely I1- Irrigation at critical growth stages, I2- 0.4 IW: CPE, I3- 0.6 IW: CPE and I4- 0.8 IW: CPE to evaluate the optimum sowing time and irrigation level for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under different hydro-thermal regimes. The differences were higher for D2 (2179 kg ha-1) than D3(2079 kg ha-1) and D1 (1853 kg ha-1) dates of sowing during 2014-15. Whereas, during 2015-16 the differences in seed yield of chickpea sown on D2 (2075 kg ha-1) being at par with D3 (1949 kg ha-1) sowing were significantly higher than D1 (1729 kg ha-1). Among the different irrigation treatments, the differences in the seed yield were significantly higher for I3(2230 kg ha-1) irrigation treatment than I1(2064 kg ha-1), I4 (1992 kg ha-1) and I2(1861 kg ha-1) respectively, during 2014-15. Whereas, the seed yield of chickpea for irrigation treatment I3 was significantly higher (2153 kg ha-1) than I1 (2013 kg ha-1), I4 (1861 kg ha-1) and I2 (1728 kg ha-1) during 2015-16.
