Abstract:
The present investigation entitled Evaluation of suitable chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under rice-based cropping system of Chhattisgarh plains was carried out at the Instructional cum Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, (C.G.) during Rabi season, 2022-23. The soil of experimental field was clayey (Vertisols), neutral in reaction (pH 7.1), medium in organic carbon (0.62%) and low in available nitrogen (229.8 kg ha^-1), medium in available phosphorus (12.4 kg ha^-1) and high in available potassium (376.5 kg ha^-1). The experiment was carried out in randomized block design with eleventh treatment replicated thrice. Genotypes comprised viz., V1- Indira Chana 1, V2- JG 16, V3- JAKI 9218, V4- JG 315, V5- RG 2015-08, V6- NBeG 924, V7- JG 24, V8- RVG 202, V9- RVG 203, V10- IPC 2005-62 and V11- JG 36. The crop was sown on 15th November, 2022 and harvested on 9th March 2023. The findings from one season experiment revealed that among eleven chickpea genotypes viz., Indira chana^-1, JG 16, JAKI 9218, JG 315, RG 2015-08, and NBeG 924, JG-24, RVG-202, RVG-203, 1PC 2005-62 and JG-36 the yield attributes (number of pods plant^-1, number of seeds pod^-1 and 100 seed weight), seed yield (1814 kg ha^-1) and stover yield (2690 kg ha^-1) were significantly higher under variety JG-24 over others, but it was at par to RG 2015-08, RVG-202 and JG 315 with seed yield of 1697, 1690 and 1678 kg ha^-1, respectively.
