Description A f ield exper iment e ntitled ìEffect of sowing time and seed rate on growth and yield of chickpea
cultivarsî was conducted dur ing rabi 2012-13 at Pulse Researc h Area of CCS Hary ana Agricultural
University , Hisar . The exper ime nt was laid out in a split plot design with two sowing time (1
st
for tnight
of November and 1
st
for tnight of December ) and four cultivars (H09-23, H08-18, C-235 and HC-1)
kept in main plots while three seed rates viz . 40 kg ha
- 1
, 50 kg ha
-1
and 60 kg ha
- 1
were kept in subplots
and replicated thrice.
Based on the research investigatio n it was found that c hickpea sown on 1
st
for tnight of November
produced better growth, y ield attr ibutes (except100 grain weight) , y ield, total N, P and K uptake, grain
protein content, nodule number and its dry weight, gross returns , net returns and BC ratio. But, harvest
index, N content in stover , P and K conte nt in grain and stover y ield unde r both the time of sowing did
not dif fer signif icantly . Various chickpea cultivar failed to inf lue nce plant population, grains per pod,
stover y ield, bi ological y ield, harvest index and N, P and K content and uptake in stover , N, P and K
content in grain , total P and K uptake and protein content in stover and grain. Plant height and dry
matte r accumulation was better in cultivar H09-23 than rest all cultivars (H08-18, C235, and HC-1).While, highest gross returns , net re turns and BC ratio was recorded with H08-18 which dif fered
signif icantly f rom HC-1 and C235 but, was statistically at par with H09-23. Seed rate of 50 kg ha
-1
produced maximum number of grains pe r pod, N conte nt and uptake in grain, P uptake by grain, total P
uptake , protein conte nt in grain and BC ratio. However , highest plant population, stover and biological
y i eld were observed with seed rate of 60 kg ha
-1
and highest number of pods per plant and harvest index
with seed rate of 40 kg ha
-1
. Vary ing seed rates failed to inf luence plant height, dry matter production,
100 grain weight, nodulation and N,P,K and protein content, net and gross returns , However
signif icantly highe r grain y ield was obtained with 50 kg ha
-1
seed rate as compared to 60 kg ha
-1
