Other claims from this paper (18)
- Observation Days to 50% flowering of chickpea (61 days) did not depend on tillage method or sowing time.
- Observation Days to physiological maturity of chickpea (120 days) did not depend on tillage method or sowing time.
- Observation Shoot biomass of chickpea in season 1 ranged from 3242.1 to 4231.3 kg/ha under the tillage treatments.
- Observation Shoot biomass of chickpea in season 2 ranged from 3035.8 to 4556.1 kg/ha under the tillage treatments.
- Intervention effect In season 2 the crop sown two weeks after onset of rains had significantly lower biomass yield.
- Intervention effect Strip-tilled plots had 36% more chickpea pods than other tillage methods in season 1 but not in season 2.
- Intervention effect Sowing time had no significant effect on chickpea pod number in season 1.
- Intervention effect In season 2 the crop sown two weeks after the onset of rains had fewer chickpea pods.
- Intervention effect In season 1 grain yield of chickpea was not influenced by tillage method or sowing time.
- Intervention effect In season 2 strip tillage gave significantly higher chickpea grain yield than the other tillage treatments.
- Intervention effect In season 2 sowing at the onset of rains gave significantly higher chickpea grain yield than the other sowing times.
- Observation Mean grain yield of chickpea in season 1 was 1604 kg/ha.
- Observation Mean grain yield of chickpea in season 2 was 1895.95 kg/ha.
- Intervention effect Sowing within two weeks after the onset of rains did not significantly lower chickpea biomass and grain yield.
- Intervention effect Strip tillage was superior to conventional tillage in the chickpea parameters measured.
- Intervention effect Time to 50% flowering and 50% maturity of chickpea was not affected by tillage methods or sowing times.
- Intervention effect Tillage methods and sowing times independently influenced chickpea growth, biomass, yield components and grain yield (the effect direction is not stated).
- Recommendation Chickpea production potential of 1.4 to 2.5 tonnes/ha exists in the study area.
