e0“An experiment was conducted in 1994–95 to test the effects of soil moisture (two levels, nil and fully irrigated) and shade (two levels, full light and 40% shaded) on the abortion of reproductive structures, yield, and yield components in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)”
e1“Shade and soil moisture interacted significantly, and the highest dry matter (DM) production of 838 g/m 2 was produced by unshaded irrigated plants. This was about twice the DM produced by shaded unirrigated plants”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Shade and soil moisture interacted significantly on chickpea dry matter production.
- Association Total chickpea dry matter production was highly correlated with radiation interception.
- Observation Chickpea produced about 2.1 g DM per MJ of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation.
- Intervention effect Shaded chickpea plants had a lower crop growth rate, 14 and 27 g/m 2 per day for shaded and unshaded plants.
- Intervention effect Unshaded and irrigated chickpea plants gave the highest seed yield, 389 g/m 2.
- Intervention effect Shaded irrigated chickpea plants gave a lower seed yield, 139 g/m 2.
- Intervention effect Shaded irrigated chickpea plants showed a large decrease in harvest index.
- Mechanism The drop in harvest index in shaded plants is explained by a limited assimilate supply.
- Intervention effect Shaded and irrigated chickpea plants showed increased reproductive abortion.
- Association Shade and soil moisture interacted on chickpea seed yield.
