Based on a part of M.Sc. thesis of the first author submitted to CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2009 (unpublished) Online published on 6 July, 2012. Abstract Results of the field experiment conducted during 2007–08 at Hisar, revealed superiority of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes ‘HC-1’ in term of pods/plant,100-grain weight, seed and biological yields and harvest index over ‘BG-372’ and ‘PBG-1’. Significant decline in growth and yield attributing characters and yield was recorded, when sowing was delayed from December 1 to December 20. Planting geometry of 30 × 7.5 cm yielded significantly higher than 30 × 10 cm. Top Keywords Chickpea genotype, Plant population, Sowing dates, Yield. Top |
