Abstract
A field experiment was undertaken during 1998–99 to 2000–01 at the Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur, to study the effect of seed soaking and tillage management on growth, yield and yield attributes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under rainfed conditions. Significantly higher grain and straw yields of chickpea were obtained with compact (double cross planking) tillage than normal (single cross planking) tillage. Soaking of seeds in 5% solution of KCl for 12 hr increased the grain and straw yields of chickpea over without soaking of seeds (control). Chickpea cv ‘KWR 108’ recorded significantly higher seed and straw yields than ‘Pant G 114’. Highest net return and benefit : cost ratio of chickpea were recorded in compact tillage soaking of seeds in 5% solution of KCl for 12 hr and chickpea cv. ‘KWR 108’.
