Abstract
The study was conducted during seasons 2006-2007 in semi assured rainfed region (Rashedyi Region) with silty clay soil, to know the possibility of using seed drill (Gaspardo SC-250) and its effects in some characteristics of mechanization and planting of chickpea.(RCBD) was designed split plot design on three replication, the main plot were employed for different spacing planting (14.7, 29.4, 44.1) cm and sub plots were employed sowing depths (6-8 , 9-11) cm . The results indicated that the possibility of using seed drill (Gaspardo SC-250) for planting chickpeas at a distance (44.1) cm because it achieved the highest results on some yield and its component were compared with others and less deviation ratio between the rows .Data also indicated that sowing depth (9-11) cm achieved significant differences for slippage percentage , deviation among planting rows, and crop yield .the interaction between achieved row spacing (44.1) cm with sowing depth (9-11) cm has achieved the best results on growth and yields properties.
