Comparison of Growth Traits and Yields Components of five Chickpeas Genotypes (Cicer arietinum L.) at Bakrajo/ Sulaymaniyah Conditions

Abstract

This study was carried out in Bakrajo Technical Institute, affiliates to the Sulaimania Polytechnic University. The investigation was done to find the relationships between genotypes and sowing times of five chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) during 2017-2018 seasons. Genotypes and sowing time are two significant variables which have impact on crop performance. However, heat stress throughout reproductive growth it is possible to cause Significant productivity loss. According to the environment conditions in winter season in the northern Iraq; crop meets slight heat and the acceptable moisture during reproductive growth and maturity. This leads to resulting in maximum and consistent yields, as well as there is a positive correlation between Maturity and Seed Yield (kg/h) as resulted from the experiment. Experimentation was laid out in a randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) with three replications applied. Results of analysis of variance outlined that there was significant difference between chickpeas varieties in the most of traits such as no. of branches per plant, 50 % flowering, no. of pods per plant ,leaf area , seeds weight per plant and the 100 seeds weight plus harvest index, which in turn give a share in to raise yields and yield components. Sowing time and varieties had significant effects on all measured trait, Ghab 1; Filip 2 and Filip 3 winters sowing genotypes gave higher seed yield, 1582.66, 1554.66 and 1533.33 Kg/h respectively. Minimum yield 662, 480 Kg/h was recorded in the Local and Swrka spring sowing genotype.

Assessment of Chickpea (Cicer Arietinum L.) Growth and Yield Component by Application of Local Granular Organic Fertilizer, Peat and Inorganic Fertilizer: Comparative Study

“…The production of local variety of chickpea in Kurdistan region is limited due to its low yield amount as investigated by many researchers in the region. According to study which was done by [8] the second lowest yield of chickpea was observed in the plot that the local variety seeds were used as compared to the other variety such us Ghab1, Filip1 and Filip 2. In a study which was done by Sulaimany chamber of commerce and industry it has revealed that one of the largest cereal importer company imports 70% of their cereal products from other countries while, only 30% is locally cultivated and chickpea is one of the crops that imported from other countries [9].…”
