Summary

The analysis of Perkins & Jinks (1971) was applied to 360 progeny families of three chickpea F2 triple test crosses, namely, F 378 × ICCC 1, P 1198–1 × ICCC 1 and US 613 × BG 203, to detect and measure the interaction of additive, dominance and epistatic gene effects with sowing dates. The families were grown in completely randomized blocks in three replications with two sowing dates, and data were recorded for plant height, number of branches per plant, number of days from sowing to flowering, number of days from sowing to maturity, number of pods per plant, number of grains per plant, 100-grain weight and grain yield per plant. The i type epistasis and additive genetic component were relatively more important than j and l type epistasis and dominance component, respectively. The j and l type epistasis and additive gene effects were more sensitive to environmental differences than the i type epistasis and dominance gene effects, respectively.
