Description |
One of the reasons for low yield in chickpea in the cooler environments of northern India, such as Hisar. Haryana, is that sink potential is not fully realized; this results in a low harvest index (Saxena and Johanscn 1988). Low night temperatures induce flower shedding or failure of pod-sel (Saxcna 1980). thereby causing investment of assimilates in continual vegetative growth and lowering the harvest index.
