Abstract:
The chickpea crop is overly sensitive to abiotic factors; high temperature is one of them, which affects growth and development and yielding potential of the crop. The present investigation was carried out during rabi season 2019-20 at research field of all India coordinated research project on chickpea, R.A.K. college of agriculture, Sehore (M.P.) twenty- five genotypes of chickpea were grown in three environments (Normal 28 November 2019, mid-late 28 December 2019, and very-late 28 January 2020) in randomized complete block design with two replications. The investigation was undertaken to capture the relatively stable genotype under several variable sowing time using 25 chickpea genotypes, which included 15 Desi and 10 Kabuli type. Genotypes were tested in normal and very-late temperature conditions. Observations were recorded for ten quantitative characters. Analysis of variance revealed that significant difference among the genotypes for all the studied traits. The variation due to environment (linear) was found significant for all the traits studied. Genotype × environment (Linear) componentwas found significant for all the traits. Genotypes JG-11 (Desi), RVG-202 (Desi), RVG-204 (Desi), ICC-4958 (Desi), RVSSG-62 (Kabuli), RVSSG-61 (Kabuli) had regression coefficient more than one with higher mean values than grand mean. These genotypes recommended for very-late sown conditions with high seed yield. The above results have provided the opportunity of growing chickpea under late planting condition in double cropping (after rice) and very late (after soybean-potato/garden pea).
