Abstract: A pot experiment was conducted at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, College of Agriculture, JAU, Junagadh to assess the “Effect of saline irrigation water on yield, quality and biochemical parameter of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) varieties” during the winter, season of 2016-17. The pot experiment comprised four levels of salinity viz., <2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 dS m-1 and five different varieties viz., V1- GG-2, V2- GJG-3, V3-GG-5, V4- GJG-6 and V5- Dahod Yellow. The highest seed yield (12.28 g plant-1) and stalk yield (20.55 g plant-1) were observed with variety V4 (GJG-6). The effect of varieties on quality parameters like Test weight – 100 seeds gave significant result but in protein content effect of varieties found non-significant. Different salinity levels produced significant effect on test weight. Protein content did not significantly influence by salinity levels. Various varieties of chickpea gave significant result on various bio-chemical parameters like proline content, RWC, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll content at 45 DAS. The proline content increased with increasing level of salinity. Significantly higher proline content (1.14 µmole g-1 of fresh weight) was recorded under application of 8.0 dS m-1 (S4) saline irrigation water. The interaction effect of varieties and salinity gave non-significant result on that parameters.
