dc.description.abstractThe present study entitled “Agro-physiological evaluation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under moisture soil stress. ” was conducted at Drought plot area, physiology lab, Agronomy Research Area, CCSHAU,HISAR during rabi 2017-18 with the objective to study the effect of soil moisture conditions on growth, yield attributes and yield, nutrient uptake, physiological parameters and economics of various chickpea genotypes. In the two main plots three replications of six genotypes were sown. In one plot two irrigations was applied one at pre-flowering stage and other at pod development stage. The environments and chickpea genotypes show significantdifference in respect of various phenological events (except emergence) viz. 50 per cent flowering, 50% pod development and physiological maturity. More number of days was taken in irrigated environment to attain various phenological stages as compared to rainfed environment. The growth parameters viz. plant height, dry matter accumulation and leafarea per plant, yield attributing characters [no. of branches, no. of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight, seed yield (kg ha-1), straw yield (kg ha-1) and biological yield differed significantly among differenttreatments. H 13-36 genotype was significantly superior in terms of growth and yield and its attributes in comparison to other genotypes. The number of nodules and dry weight of nodules was significantly higher in case of irrigated environment and physiological parameters viz. canopy temperature, chlorophyll content, leaf water potential and relative water content different significantly in both the environments. In irrigated environment higher gross return (₹97958), net returns (₹45970) and B:C (1.88) as compared to rainfed environment. Soil moisture content show continuous decrease in rainfed environment. Consumptive use of water and water use efficiency were higher in case of irrigated environment.en_US
