“…Under conditions similar to those in the present study, Hoskem et al (2017) tested the Cicero cultivar at three different sowing times (May 22 nd , June 20 th , and July 26 th ), and reported yields averaging 2.72 t ha -1 , with the best result obtained when chickpeas were sown in the month of June, with yields close to 3 t ha -1 .…”

“…( + 0.5) 1 Artiaga et al (2015), assessed chickpea genotypes sown in non-irrigated land in the Midwest of Brazil from January to July, and found heights for the Cicero cultivar ranging from 33 to 57 cm, and heights for the IAC Morocco cultivar ranging from 45 to 63 cm. Hoskem et al (2017), using the Cicero cultivar, found the highest values for plant height (52 cm) in the municipality of Montes Claros-MG when chickpeas were sown in May.…”

“…Studies show that the Northern Region of Minas Gerais has a high potential for cultivation of chickpeas. Hoskem et al (2017) evaluated the production and quality of seeds of chickpeas(Cicero cultivar) in two locations in the city of Montes Claros -MG, and found that the best time for sowing is in the month of June, with yields of 3.2 t ha -1 and 3.9 t ha -1 , respectively. A study by Vieira, Resende and Castro (1999), in Janaúba, MG, using the Leopoldina and IAC Moroco cultivars reported productivity greater than 3 t ha -1 .…”

In Brazil, studies on chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) have demonstrated the high productive potential of this crop, especially in the Cerrado areas of Cristalina, GO, and Brasília, DF. Due to dry winter climatic conditions, the North of Minas Gerais may be very suitable for the production of this crop. However, more information on chickpea sowing dates is needed. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate different chickpea sowing times in two municipalities of Minas Gerais State in Brazil: Montes Claros and Januária. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design, comprising three sowing dates (12 May, 23 June, and 22 July, 2015), and seven replications. The cultivar used was BRS Aleppo, and the chickpeas were harvested 121 days after sowing. The variables evaluated included plant height, productivity, number of pods with one grain, and number of pods with two grains. The data were submitted to analysis of variance, and joint analysis of the experiments was performed. The highest yields were obtained when chickpeas were sown in May in Montes Claros, with a yield of 5.3 t ha-1. In Januária, chickpeas sown in May and June produced yields greater than 3.0 t ha-1. The plants sown in July, considered late for planting, were harvested during the rainy season, which compromised the quality and yield of the grains. In addition, maximum temperatures above 30ºC were recorded from September onwards in both locations, which also resulted in a reduction in the number of grains per plant. Thus, this sowing season is not recommended in the studied region.

“…For the July 22nd sowing, the seeds harvested at 128 DAS had their germination compromised by the occurrence of rainfall near the harvest. Hoskem et al (2017), while evaluating the production and quality of Cícero chickpea seeds in the municipality of Montes Claros and São Norberto -Minas Gerais state, at different planting periods, found the maximum germination in seeds from the May 22nd sowing, with an average of 85.5%. Araújo et al (2010), comparing chickpea seed lots from different genotypes grown in the North of Minas Gerais, found their germination ranging from 33 to 73%, and also remarkable vigor differences.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the production, and the physical and physiological quality of ‘BRS Aleppo’ chickpea seeds in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais State, and their ideal harvest point. A randomized complete block design was used, in a 3x5 factorial arrangement, with three sowing periods (May 12th, June 23rd and July 22nd 2015) and five harvest seasons (100, 107, 114, 121 and 128 days after sowing) with seven replications. The following productive parameters were determined: number of seeds, number of empty pods, production and yield. For seed quality evaluations, the completely randomized design was used. The following evaluations were done: seed moisture content, dry matter, biometry, 1,000-seed weight and germination. For the harvest season factor, data were submitted to analysis of variance and comparisons average by Tukey’s test (p<0.05). The regression analysis was performed and coefficients were tested with the t-test. Seed production was higher when sowing was done in May and when the harvest was performed close to 114 days after sowing, with a yield reaching 5.31 ton/ha-1 and 10.7% seed moisture content. If sowing is delayed, there is a risk of rainfall during the harvest season, and seed quality is compromised.

“…According to Paula Júnior and Venzon (2007), the main form of consumption in Brazil is as whole grains cooked and served in the form of salad or pasta. According to Hoskem et al (2017), despite being a cold climate plant, the chickpea adapts well to tropical regions like Brazil, producing crops with good development and high productivity.…”

Accelerated ageing as a vigour test on chickpea seeds

The objective of this work was to establish the temperature and the period of exposure needed to perform the traditional accelerated ageing test with saturated NaCl salt solution on chickpea seeds. Eight seed lots from two cultivars, including four seeds each, were subjected to germination and vigour tests for initial characterization. Following the methodology of the traditional accelerated ageing test. The seeds were placed on stainless steel screens in boxes with 40 mL deionized water. They were kept at 41 and 45º Celsius for 24 and 48 hours. Furthermore, the accelerated ageing test using [40 g of NaCl in 100 mL of water, thus providing 76% of relative humidity in air] NaCl (salt) solution in place of the deionized water was performed. Aged seeds were sowed in germination paper and kept in a germination chamber at 41º and 45º Celsius. The evaluations were performed five and eight days after sowing. The statistical analysis was performed with a completely randomized design and four replications. The traditional ageing of both cultivars showed a water content higher than the tolerated limits at 48 hour period and 41 and 45 °C. In the saturated saline test, the cultivar BRS Aleppo produced consistent results at temperatures 45 °C for 24 h. The cultivar Cícero showed a low correlation with the initial characterization as the results of accelerated ageing. Thus, for ‘BRS Aleppo’, the recommended accelerated ageing methodology was application of saturated saline solution, when seed exposed to 41 °C for 24 hours with germination evaluation at the first count date. For 'Cicero', satisfactory results were not obtained, and new studies are required to establish a methodology.
