Abstract
The field experiment entitled, “Effect of different plant
population on chickpea genotypes under late sown
conditions”was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of CCS
Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, during rabi season of
2007-08. The main treatments consisted of three dates of sowing
viz. December 1st, December 10th and December 20th; three
genotypes HC-1, PBG-1 and BG-372.two plant population 30x10
and 30x7.5 cm were kept in subplots. Eighteen combinations were
tested in split plot design with three replications. Significantly
better grain yield was recorded with December 1st as compared to
other sowing dates.
The grain yield was significantly affected due to the
genotypes of chickpea. Genotypes HC-1 produced significantly
higher grain yield followed by BG-372 and PBG-1. Significant
decline in growth and yield attributing character was recorded
when sowing was delayed from December 1st to December 20th
sowing.
Total N P and K uptake was recorded higher with
December 1st. Total N P and K uptake was also more with genotype
HC-1.
The plant population of 30x7.5 cm more grain yield
compared to other.
The crude protein content of chickpea was not affected
significantly due to the sowing dates, genotypes and plant
population.
