Subject Chickpea
 
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.
