| Abstract | ||
| A field experiment was carried out during the growth season (2012) at two locations (Alquash and Rhashiddiya) to study the effect of three spring sowing dates and five plant densities on growth, yield and some quality traits of local chickpea. The first date sown in mid February, the second sown after 10 days and the third after 20 days from the first date, using plant densities (18.3-21.6-25- 31.6-43.3 plant.m-2). Randomized complete block design (R.C.B.D) was used with three replicates, each contains (15) plots according to the required treatment i.e. three sowing dates and five plant densities. The results illustrated that early dates surpass in the characters of relative growth yield (0.092 , 0.097), number of plump pods/plant (8 , 10.92), weight of pods/plant (2.99 , 4.86), plant yield (2.58 , 3.7), harvest index (33.37 , 36.67), 100 seed weight (28.09 , 33.18), yield multiplication and test weight. The number of plump pods, pods weight , seed yield and 100 seed weight increased in low densities. The interaction effected significantly most characters of growth and yield. | ||
