Effect of Different Sowing Environment on Growth Parameters, Yield and Yield Components of Chickpea (Cicer aretinum L.) Varities

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2019-20 in sandy loam soil of C.S.A. University of Agriculture and Technology, Nawabganj, Kanpur (U.P.).The experiment consisted nine treatments combinations comprised of three sowing date/ sowing temperature viz., sowing on November 10 with temperature 220C, November 20 with temperature 170C and November 30 with temperature 160C and three variety viz, KWR-108, KPG-59 and KGD-1168. Results revealed that sowing temperature 220C which occurred on November 10 in combination with variety KGD-1168 produced significantly higher growth parameters such as plant population, plant height, number of branches per plant, dry matter accumulation and crop growth rate. It is also evident from data that variety KDG-1168 sown on November 10 has been associated with highest no. of pods plant-1, no. of seeds plant-1, no. of seeds pod-1, test weight, seed yield plant-1, seed yield (q ha-1) because fulfilment of optimum thermal requirement for various plant processes. High temperature during-reproductive stage adversely affected the number of pods plant,-1 number of seed pod-1 in late sowing (November 30) which ultimately resulted in the lowest seed yield. It can be elaborated from the results that variety KGD-1168 produces higher yield and benefit in the central plain zone of Uttar Pradesh.

Integrated Effect of Synthetic Fertilizers and Bio-Inoculant on Growth, Yield Attributes and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

“…Maximum grain yield (52.00 q ha -1 ), straw yield (65.80 q ha -1 ) and biological yield (117.80 q ha -1 ) were recorded under the treatment T6 [125 % RDF + Azotobacter] followed by treatment T7 [100 % RDF + Azotobacter] with the value 46.33, 55.63 and 101.96 q ha -1 and minimum grain (25.33 q ha -1 ), straw yield (29.80 q ha -1 ) and biological yield (55.13 q ha -1 ) of wheat were recorded in control. These findings are further supported by the findings of Sirohiya et al, [17] and Tiwari et al, [18][19][20][21].…”

Effects of Spacing and Nipping on Yield Attributes and Yield of Chickpea

“…Yield attributes of Chickpea [7]. "Nipping of chickpea especially during last week of December to the end of January not only instrumental in providing extra feeding material for cattle but also have significant effect on number of productive branches per plant, number of pods per plant, 100 seeds weight and yield (kg ha-1) of this crop" (Khan et al, [8]. These finding in accordance with Aziz, M. A.…”

Effect of Potassic Fertilizer, FYM and Vermicompost on Growth Parameters, Yield Attributes and Yield of Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan) Crop in Chitrakoot Area

“…"After measuring the weight of the air-dried bundles with a spring balance, the harvested crop was tied in labelled bundles and threshed using a tractor-drawn thresher. Plot-by-plot records of the grain and straw yields were made and translated to q/ha" [14]. ) "The total weight of clean and dried grains from each plot was weighed with the help of electronic balance in kg/ha and converted into q/ha" [14].…”

“…) "Straw yield of each plot can be obtained by deducting the grain yield from the respective biological yield and expressed in q/ha" [14].…”
