Abstract

In Northern part of India chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is normally sown during second fortnight of October. Some time its sowing is delayed depending upon the early withdrawal of monsoon and late harvest of preceding kharif crop, which ultimately results in poor seed yield with the development of new genotypes, it becomes essential to test them at different sowing dates to exploit their full production potential. In early sown condition maximum seed yield recorded in 3rd week of October and late sown conditions highest seed yield recorded at first week of December. In late sown conditions maximum seed yield recorded at plant geometry of 30x7.S cm and in case of genotypes that varies place to place and climate to climate out of these genotypes (‘GNG- 663′, ‘JG- 74′, ‘D 96– 99′ and ‘HC- 1′) perform well in late sown conditions.
