Abstract: The present investigation entitled “studies on the effect of weather and irrigation on growth, development and yield’s of chickpea under Raipur condition.†was conducted during rabi season 2013-14 at Research Farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (Chhattisgarh). Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a grain legume, crop. Grown primarily for its high protein content '" (up to 30 %) (Jambunathan and Singh, 1990). It is cultivated mainly in the Indian sub-continent, but is gaining popularity in other countries around the world. It is the third most important pulse crop after common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and peas (Pisum sativum) (FAO, 1995). Kabir et al. (2009) conducted a field experiment during November 2000 to April 2001 at Hazipur, Bangladesh to study the effect of sowing time and cultivars on the growth and yield performance of chickpea under rainfed condition with Three chickpea varieties The varieties showed significant difference in case of plant height, canopy coverage, 100-seed weight, yield and harvest index. Sowing time showed significant difference with respect to plant height, crop growth rate, canopy coverage, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod, yield and harvest index. Seed yield was reduced consequently as the date of sowing was delayed. The late November sowing produced the highest seed yield and harvest index. The study further revealed that sowing date could be delayed upto early December to get satisfactory yield. So, it was suggested that BARI Chola-4 could be sown upto early December under rainfed condition for better yield.
