Abstract

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is said to be one of the oldest pulse crop known and cultivated from ancient times both in Asia and Europe. Karnataka is one of the major chickpea producing states in the country. In Karnataka, it is grown over an area of 0.68 m ha, which is 14.64 per cent of total pulse area (1.68 m ha) with a production of 0.11 mt which is 22.4 per cent of total pulse production (0.49 m t) having an average productivity of 473 kg ha-1 (Anon., 2010). Among many reasons, less water availability during its growing period is one of the major factors for low productivity of chickpea. Several studies have also shown that optimum yields can be obtained with irrigation at branching....
