abstract
The study investigated the growth attributes of chickpea genotypes as influenced by different sowing windows conducted during Rabi 2023-24 at research farm of AICRP for Dryland Agriculture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. Nine treatment combinations including three sowing windows viz., D1- 44 MW, D2- 45 MW and D3- 46 MW and three genotypes viz., V1- JG-14, V2- JAKI 9218 and V3- Akash, all replicated thrice in a Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD). Among the treatments, growth characters viz., plant height, number of branches, dry matter accumulation were significantly influenced due to different dates of sowing in Chickpea. Maximum values of all these characters were recorded by sowing in 44 MW and it was found comparable with sowing in 45 MW. Out of three genotypes JG-14 recorded maximum plant height (cm). JAKI-9218 was superior in respect of number of branches, dry matter accumulation. Highest value of growth attributes was recorded with JAKI-9218 and it was found comparable with Akash.
