Effect of sowing date and soil type on plant survival and grain yield of chick peas (Cicer arietinum L.)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
Sowing date directly affected the grain yield of chick peas. Optimum sowing date was found to be between the end of October and the end of November, but different soil types showed some differences within this optimum.
Grain yield was highly correlated with number of pods per plant and number of plants at harvest.
Plant loss at the seedling stage was highly correlated with daily mean maximum air temperature, and was also significantly associated with sodium accumulation in shoots.
