 ABSTRACT

The experiment was conducted with ten genotypes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) viz ICCV 88503, ICCV 92944, HC- 1, HC-3, HC-5, H12-64, H13-01, H13-02, H14-01 and H14-04 for three dates of sowing i.e 15th October, 15th November and 15th December in the field in randomized block design during Rabi season of 2017-18 and 2018-19 at Pulses Section, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to observe the effect of sowing dates on phenology of chickpea genotypes. The days to initiation, 50 % flowering, podding and physiological maturity were minimum in 15th December sowing and maximum in 15th October sowing. Among genotypes, H13-01 took minimum days to initiation, 50 % flowering, podding and physiological maturity while H14-04 took maximum days and among interaction, H13-01 took minimum days to initiation, 50 % flowering, podding and physiological maturity when sown on 15th December while maximum were observed in H14-04 when sown on 15th October.

Keywords: Sowing dates, Phenology, Flowering, Genotypes, Cicer arietinum L.
