“…This may be due to better partitioning of photosynthetes between the different plant parts whereas minimum HI was recorded with S 1 sowing date. Similar results were also found by Prasad et al [16] and Kabir et al [21]. Among the weed treatment, W 4 recorded significantly higher HI closely followed by W 8 and W 5 , whereas lowest HI was recorded under W 1 treatment which was 19.5 % less than the W 8 treatment.…”

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2009-2010 to find out the suitable date of sowing and weed control systems for getting maximum chickpea grain yield, at the Agricultural Research Farm of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, UP. The treatments consisted of three dates of sowing viz. November 10 (S 1 ), November 25 (S 2 ) and December 5 (S 3 ) with eight weed management system viz. Weedy check (W 1 ), Weed free check at 30 and 60 DAS (W 2 ), Pendimethalin @ 1 kg/ha as pre-emergence (W 3 ), Quizalofop @ 50 g/ha as post-emergence (W 4 ), Imazethapyr @ 37.5 g/ha as post-emergence (W 5 ), Pendimethalin fb Quizalofop (W 6 ), Pendimethalin fb Imazethapyr (W 7 ) and Pendimethalin ? Mechanical (W 8 ). The results showed that the chickpea sowing on November 25 (S 2 ) produced taller plants with higher number of root nodules, root length, dry matter, pods/plant, seeds/pod, seed index which resulted in higher grain and straw yield. Sowing S 2 produced higher grain and straw yield (1,475 and 3,354 kg/ha) than early (S 1 ) and delay sowing (S 3 ) (1,307 and 1,114 kg/ha) which was increased by 12.85 and 32.40 % more, over the S 1 and S 3 sowing dates. Among weed control systems, W 8 gave better control of weeds and increased grain yield of chickpea by 62.81 % over the control (W 1 ) and proved significantly superior on rest of the treatments followed by W 6 (59.03 %).

“…The increased plant height and more leaf area per plant resulted in more photosynthetic accumulation, which in turn enhanced the production of higher biomass under November first week sown chickpea. Kabir et al (2009) also reported similar results earlier. The higher plant height of 38.9 cm and DMP of 2006 kg.…”

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2017-18, to evaluate different sowing time and methods for enhancing the productivity of rainfed chickpea. The experimental design used was strip plot and the treatment combinations were replicated thrice. Sowing time and methods were taken as vertical and horizontal factors, respectively. Sowing time includes October last week, November first week, November second week and November third week and sowing methods comprises of broadcast, line, seed drill and country plough sowing. November first week sown crop produced the higher plant height (38.4 cm) dry matter production (2046 kg. ha-1), number of pods per plant (12.3) and grain yield of 861 kg. ha-1. Among sowing methods, country plough sowing resulted in the maximum plant height (38.9 cm), dry matter production (2006 kg. ha-1), number of pods per plant (12.9) and grain yield (808kg. ha-1).

“…Delayed sowing beyond early December can negatively affect the chickpea crop in relation to crop water requirements and temperatures within the growing season (Kabir et al 2009;Ahmed et al 2011). It can cause the seedlings to emerge under cold temperatures, slowing the rate of early growth (Chaturvedi and Ali 2004;Johansen et al 2008).…”

The time of sowing chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in the High Barind Tract of north-west Bangladesh is critical to crop success. To ensure adequate emergence and subsequent crop growth, chickpea relies on residual soil moisture stored in the profile after rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivated in the preceding rainy season. With the development of mechanised, one-pass minimum tillage sowing, the time between rice harvest and chickpea sowing is decreased, and temperature constraints that limit biomass and/or pod formation and filling may be avoided. Minimum tillage may also limit evaporation from the soil surface compared with traditional, full cultivation procedures. The objective of this study was to identify the optimum sowing time to achieve adequate crop establishment and limit exposure of the chickpea crop to terminal drought and heat stress later in the growing season. Over three experimental seasons, chickpea sowing dates were spread from 22 November to 22 December. Soil water content, crop growth and temperature were monitored to determine the optimum sowing time. Over all seasons and sowing dates, the volumetric soil water content in the seedbed under minimum tillage remained within 17–34%, a range non-limiting for chickpea establishment in glasshouse and field experiments. Late planting (after 10 December) exposed seedlings to low temperatures (<15°C), which limited biomass formation and extended the vegetative growth phase into periods with high maximum temperatures (>35°C), resulting in unfilled pods and depressed grain yield. The preferred sowing time was determined to be 30 November to 10 December to reduce the risk of high temperatures and low soil water content during chickpea reproductive growth causing terminal heat and drought stress, respectively. Mechanised sowing in one operation allows farmers to optimise their time of sowing to match seed requirements for soil water at emergence and may assist farmers to avoid temperature stresses (both low and high) that constrain chickpea vegetative and reproductive growth.
