Effects of seed hardening on growth and yield of chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L. )
Journal Title: Advances in Agriculture & Botanics - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the efect of seed hardening with various chemicals on morpho-physiological traits and yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) during Rabi 2007, under rain fed conditions. Significantly higher seed yield was recorded in seed hardening with CaCl[sub]2[/sub] 2% (26..32q per ha), followed by Cycocel 1000 ppm (23..54 q per ha) and sucinic acid 20 ppm (23..44 q per ha) as compare to control (19..04 q per ha).. The increased seed yield in seed hardening with CaCl[sub]2[/sub] 2% may be atributed to increase in the morpho-physiological traits like plant height , number of leaf lets, leaf dry matter and total dry matter accumulation, leaf area per plant and Harvest index. In adition to increase in the physiological traits like LAI, LAD, CGR, NAR and RGR and yield parameters like 100 seeds weight, seed yield per plant and Harvestiindex.
