ABSTRACT
Five chickpea genotypes (Two resistant - ICCL 86111 and ICCV 10, Two commercial - JG 11 and KAK 2 and one susceptible - ICC 3137) were grown under different watering regimes under greenhouse and open field conditions during 2012 - 13 during the summer season. Under water stress conditions, in the glass house, all the genotypes matured earlier, but there was a decrease in the number of flowers, pod yield and seed yield. There were no significant differences between the plants grown under sprinkled water and normal watering conditions in seed yield. The chickpea genotypes grown under heat and water stress conditions outside the glass house matured earlier, and there was a decrease in seed yield. JG 11 produced more number of flowers under stress conditions, which resulted in an increase in seed yield.
Key words :
Chickpea genotypes, Maturity duration, Water stress, Yield attributes.
