Abstract

In order to study the effect of different irrigations levels on chickpea, an experiment was conducted at Malakandher Research Farms, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar during 2000.Statistical analysis of the data showed that irrigations levels had a significant effect on emergence unit area -1, days to flowering, days to maturity, pods plant -1, grain yield and biological yield. Maximum emergence unit area -1, pods plant -1, plant height, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index in most of the cases were recorded in those plots, which were given two irrigations, when compared with other treatments. In case of varieties, maximum emergence unit area -1, pods plant -1, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index were recorded in NIFA-95 while CM-72 gave minimum emergence unit area -1, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index. The highest biological yield was obtained from plots treated three times, while the lowest biological yield was obtained from control plots. Maximum grain yield was produced by plots irrigated two times, while minimum grain yield was produced by control plots. Maximum harvest index was obtained from control plots and seeded with CM-72, while minimum harvest index was recorded in plots sown with CM-72 and applied three irrigations
