Author(s): Suresh Mhaske, KK Agrawal and Manish Bhan
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the thermal requirement of chickpea types under different thermal environment and irrigation during rabi seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19 at Research Farm, Department of Physics and Agrometeorology Jawaharlal Neharu Krishi Vishwa vidayalaya, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh). The experiment was laid out in split split-plot design with three replications consisted of three sowing environment viz., November 15th, December 1st and December 15th, three chickpea types viz., JG 14 (Deshi), JGG 1 (Gulabi) and JGK 1 (Kabuli) with three irrigation levels (No irrigation, Irrigation at 50% branching and two irrigation each at 50% branching and pod development) as main plot, sub-plot and sub sub-plot treatments, respectively. Results revealed that duration to attain different phenophases and thermal unit during sowing to maturity decreased with successive delay in sowing form November. December 1st sowing produced significantly higher total dry matter accumulation, higher seed yield and biological yield as compared to November 15th and December 15th. Among chickpea types, Deshi cultivar JG 14 exhibited significantly higher total dry matter accumulation, HUE, higher seed yield and biological yield followed by JGG 1 and JGK1.
