- Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2017-18, to evaluate different sowing time and methods for enhancing the productivity of rainfed chickpea. The experimental design used was strip plot and the treatment combinations were replicated thrice. Sowing time and methods were taken as vertical and horizontal factors, respectively. Sowing time includes October last week, November first week, November second week and November third week and sowing methods comprises of broadcast, line, seed drill and country plough sowing. November first week sown crop produced the higher plant height (38.4 cm) dry matter production (2046 kg. ha-1), number of pods per plant (12.3) and grain yield of 861 kg. ha-1. Among sowing methods, country plough sowing resulted in the maximum plant height (38.9 cm), dry matter production (2006 kg. ha-1), number of pods per plant (12.9) and grain yield (808kg. ha-1).
