Description A field experiment entitled Performance of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
genotypes for green purpose to dates of sowing in northern transition zone of
Karnataka” was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station, Dharwad during
late kharif season of 2004.
Among the varieties, variety KAK-2 recorded significantly higher green seed
yield (63.92 q/ha) and plant biomass yield (7,401.00 kg/ha). The significantly higher
green seed yield of KAK-2 over the test varieties is contributed to higher values of
yield component viz., higher test weight (56.47 g/100 seeds), seed yield per plant
(19.19 g), number of seeds per pod (1.13) and higher pod biomass yield (21.69 g).
Similarly higher plant biomass was due to significantly higher values of growth
components viz., higher plant height (48.17 cm), more number of primary and
secondary branches at harvest (18.30), higher dry matter accumulation in pods at
harvest (9.68 g/plant) and higher total dry matter accumulation at harvest (18.16
g/plant). This increase in yield and yield attributing characters recorded in KAK-2
variety can be attributed towards higher leaf area (5.47 dm2/plant) and higher leaf area
index of 1.83 at harvest.
Among the dates of sowing, chickpea sown on August 27th recorded
significantly higher green seed yield (51.58 q/ha) and higher plant biomass (6,01700
kg/ha) and was on par with August 13th sowing (49.54 q/ha, 58.58.00 kg/ha
respectively). This can be attributed to the significantly higher leaf area (4.13
dm2/plant) and leaf area index (1.37).
For quality parameters, organoleptic evaluation is made. Among the different
characters, taste and flavour recorded highest (4.4 and 4.4 respectively) for ICCV-2.
The score for colour was recorded highest in BG-256 (4.5). Highest score for overall
acceptability was recorded for ICCV-2 (4.4).
Significantly highest protein content was recorded in variety ICCV-2
(24.33%) which was on par with variety KAK-2 (23.44%).
The net returns and benefit cost ratio were recorded higher in variety KAK-2
(27,374.00 Rs./ha and 2.86 respectively). Among the dates of sowing, August 27th
sowing recorded significantly higher net returns (20,648.00 Rs./ha) and benefit cost
ratio (2.19).
