Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2016 on the topic entitled “Study the crop-weather interaction on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Cultivars†in sandy loam soil of N.D. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P). The experimental consisted of nine treatment combinations comprised of three growing environment viz., sowing on Oct.25th with temperature 24.2 0C, Nov.4th with temperature 22.5 0C and Nov.14th with temperature 22.2 0C and three varieties viz. Radhey, Pusa-372, and BG-256. Results revealed that plant height Taller plants were obtained at sowing temperature 32.5 0C (exist on October 25th) which was significant higher over rest sowing dates. Shorter plants were recorded under sowing date November 14th. higher leaf area index was obtained at sowing temperature 32.5 0C (existed on Oct.25th) as compared to sowing done on Nov.4th and Nov.14th in which later sown i.e. Nov.14th proved lowest LAI at all the stages of crop. Higher leaf area index was obtained in Radhey followed by BG-256 while significantly superior over Pusa-372 cultivar at all the successive stages of chickpea. Maximum plant population (32plant m-2) was recorded under sowing done on Oct.25th with sowing temp. 32.5 0C followed by Nov.4th sowing of chickpea. Delay in sowing recorded lowest no. of initial plant population of chickpea Radhey cultivar exhibited maximum initial plant population (32) followed by Pusa-372 (30). Number of branches plant-1 shows that different growing environment had significant influence on the number of branches plant-1 at all the stages. Crop sown on Oct.25th with temperature 32.5 0C produced significantly higher number of branches plant-1 was significantly superior over both sowing done on Nov.4th with temperature 30.5 0C and Nov.14th with temperature 31 0C. Number of branches plant-1 was affected significantly by varieties at all the stages.
