- Observation Mean chickpea seed yield was 305 g/m2.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen did not increase chickpea seed yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen significantly decreased mean chickpea seed weight.
- Observation July-sown inoculated chickpeas without nitrogen produced 423 g/m2 of seed.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased chickpea pods per plant and seeds per plant.
- Intervention effect One month after flowering, early-sown chickpeas had 38% more pods than late-sown chickpeas.
- Observation Early-sown chickpea pod number declined from 41.9 to 31.3 pods per plant between two months after flowering and harvest.
- Observation Late-sown chickpea pod number did not decline between the corresponding dates.
- Observation Early sowing flowered at 139 days.
- Observation Late sowing flowered at 72 days.
- Intervention effect At 50% flowering, 45 kg N/ha produced 8.8 flowering nodes per plant, versus 6.3 with 0 kg N/ha.
- Intervention effect Early sowing produced significantly more flowering nodes than late sowing, 9.0 versus 6.1.
