ABSTRACT
The field experiment was conducted at College farm, Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, Hyderabad during 2013-14 to study the effect of moisture regimes on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of chickpea cultivars. Significant effect of moisture regimes on plant height, number of branches plant-1 and dry matter production was observed at all growth stages (30, 60, 90 DAS and at harvest) where I4 (0.9 IW:CPE) gave superior performance which is on par with I3 (0.6 IW:CPE). Among moisture regimes, Irrigation scheduled at 0.6 IW:CPE (I3) produced significantly higher yield attributes and grain and haulm yields of chickpea but it was on par with 0.9 IW:CPE (I4). The JG-11 variety has produced higher grain yield than Annegiri and also revealed that N, P and K uptake was more in 0.6 IW:CPE (I3) but it was on par with 0.9 IW:CPE (I4) and significantly superior as compared to I1 (Rainfed) and I2 (0.3 IW:CPE) while, varieties did not differ significantly in respect of NPK uptake.
Key words :
Chickpea cultivars, Growth & yield attributes, Irrigation scheduling, IW/CPE ratio, NPK uptake.
