Influence of seed hardening on growth and yield of chickpea var. GG-2 (Cicer arietinum L.)
Author(s): JA Samal, RS Bhadane and DB Patel
Abstract: The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of seed hardening on growth and yield of chickpea. The chickpea var. GG-2 was imposed with various seed hardening treatments i.e., CaCl2 @ 2%, 1000 ppm Cycocel, 20 ppm Succinic Acid, 10 ppm GA3, 100 ppm GA3, 100 ppm Kinetin, 10 ppm MnCl2, 100 ppm MnCl2, 150 ppm KNO3, 150 ppm KCl, Water soaked and Absolute Control. The above treated seeds along with control were evaluated for their morpho-physiological and yield attributing parameters under field conditions. The study revealed that seeds hardened with CaCl2 @ 2% recorded maximum height, leaf area, LAI, CGR, dry matter production, yield per ha and harvest index. The treatments CaCl2 2% followed by Cycocel 1000 ppm were found to be superior for most morpho-physiological parameters as compared to other treatments and control on the basis of field studies.
