“…et al (2003c). Clearly, the number of pods m -2 had a greater infl uence on grain yield, an outcome also noted by Anwar et al (2003a). Th is response varied by planting date as shown by the correlation between grain yield and pods m -2 that was significant only for chickpea planted in late autumn and early winter (r = 0.73, P ≤ 0.001 and r = 0.60, P ≤ 0.01, respectively).…”

ABSTRACT Th e stability of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) yield under rainfed Mediterranean conditions can be improved by winter planting of cultivars resistant or tolerant to Ascochyta blight [Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab.]. A fi eld study was conducted in southern Spain to evaluate the eff ect of diff erent planting dates (late autumn, early winter, mid-winter and the traditional late winter planting date) on growth and yield for two chickpea cultivars: 'Fardón' (Ascochyta blight resistant) and the widely grown, local cv. 'Pedrosillano' (not Ascochyta resistant and with fungicide treatments applied). Grain yield for late autumn and early and mid-winter planting dates was between 50 and 80% greater compared to the traditional late winter planting date. Th e earliest two planting dates had no signifi cant diff erences for yield. Rainfall during the growing season had a strong eff ect on biomass production and grain yield for all planting dates. Th e leaf area duration (LAD) index displayed a strong positive correlation with both dry matter production and grain yield, although variations in spring weather conditions prompted a year × planting date interaction. Plant density was the component most infl uencing yield; both plant density and pods plant -1 were greater for earlier planting dates. 'Fardón' was less productive than 'Pedrosillano' (averaging 1.76 vs. 1.94 t ha -1 over all planting dates, respectively). However, there was likely little profi tability for Pedrosillano due to the fungicide applications.

“…Chickpea HI values vary greatly among cultivars, locations, and years, ranging from 0.18 to 0.74 (Thoma and Fukai 1995;Anwar et al 2003). In our study, the HI values ranged from 0.15 to 0.51.…”

“…However, unifoliate cultivars in other environments and irrigation conditions around the world can be high yielding. For example, the unifoliate-leaf cultivar Sanford had a higher yield than the fern-leaf Amit in New Zealand, a subhumid temperate environment (Anwar et al 2003). Because chickpea is still a relatively new crop in the Northern Great Plains (Miller et al 2002), and two of the three unifoliate cultivars used in our research are adapted for the northwestern USA, cultivar adaptation needs to be considered as an additional factor to improve the lower yield of unifoliate types in Western Canada.…”

, T. 2006. Biomass and yield performance of kabuli chickpea cultivars with the fern or unifoliate leaf trait in the Northern Great Plains. Can. J. Plant Sci. 86: 1089-1097. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) has two kinds of leaf, the fern and unifoliate. The best leaf type to use for biomass production and yield in the short growing season of the Northern Great Plains, which has a semiarid environment with end of season rainfall, is not yet known. The objectives of this research were to determine the relationships between leaf type and crop growth rate, maximum above-ground biomass, harvest index and yield under moderate and high plant population densities. The study was conducted in the field at Saskatoon and Swift Current, Saskatchewan, in 2003 and. The experimental treatments consisted of a factorial combination of six commercial kabuli chickpea cultivars representing the two leaf types and two plant population densities: 45 and 85 plants m -2 . There were no cultivar and plant population interactions for crop growth rate, maximum above-ground biomass, harvest index and seed yield. Dry matter production was higher in the 2004 season, which had above-average rainfall and a longer duration of reproductive growth. Although high plant population exhibited higher maximum above-ground biomass in 3 location-years, plant population did not affect the crop growth rate. The 45 plants m -2 treatment had a higher harvest index than the 85 plants m -2 treatment in 2 location-years, but both population treatments were similar in the other two environments. Yield of chickpea was increased by higher plant population in 1 location-year, but was not affected by plant population in the other location-years. The fern leaf cultivars had a higher crop growth rate over the unifoliate leaf cultivars in 2 location-years and no significant difference in the other environment. Fern-leaf cultivars partitioned more dry matter to seed growth compared with unifoliate cultivars while sustaining similar biomass production as unifoliate cultivars. The use of fern-leaf cultivars in the Northern Great Plains appears to be an opportunity for increasing chickpea yield by its superior harvest index compared with unifoliate leaf cultivars. ) a deux sortes de feuillage : les feuilles de fougère et les feuilles simples.

“…Due to the variable nature of RUE (Loomis and Amthor 1999), the estimation of RUE can be strongly influenced by minor differences in experimental protocols (Gallo et al 1993). The RUE of chickpea can be affected by several factors such as planting date (Hughes et al 1987;Anwar et al 2003), plant growth habit (Hughes et al 1987), row spacing (Leach andBeech 1988), and irrigation (Leach and Beech 1988;Singh and Sri Rama 1989;Thomas and Fukai 1995;Anwar et al 2003). The estimated values of RUE can also depend on growing environment (Hughes et al 1987;Bell et al 1993;Kiniry et al 2001), disease pressure on the crop (Thomson and Siddique 1997), and growth resources such as available nutrients (Loomis and Amthor 1999).…”

, T. 2008. Light interception and radiation use efficiency of fern-and unifoliateleaf chickpea cultivars. Can. J. Plant Sci. 88: 1025Á1034. A chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) crop with rapid leaf development, high solar radiation interception, and efficient use of radiation can maximize the yield potential in a short-season typical of the Northern Great Plains. This study determined the effects of cultivars varying in leaf architecture on light interception (LI) and radiation use efficiency (RUE) in chickpea. Six kabuli chickpea cultivars with fern and unifoliate-leaf traits were grown under low (45 plants m (2 ) and high (85 plants m (2 ) population density at Saskatoon and Swift Current, Saskatchewan, in 2003 and. Fern-leaf cultivars achieved consistently higher maximum LI, and greater cumulative intercepted radiation than cultivars with the unifoliate-leaf. Estimated RUE varied largely with growing season, but did not differ among cultivars or between plant populations. Compared with low plant population, high plant population resulted in greater maximum LI in only 1 out of 4 location-years, but higher cumulative intercepted radiation in 3 out of 4 location-years. Our results indicated that future high-yielding kabuli chickpea cultivars for short seasons will benefit from increased canopy LI and seasonal cumulative intercepted radiation via the fern-leaf trait, although the fern-leaf does not further increase RUE. Use of fern-leaf cultivars, coupled with adoption of strategies that promote a rapid canopy development and improved radiation interception are keys to maximizing chickpea yield potential in the short-seasons experienced in the Northern Great Plains. La IL maximale e´tait toujours plus e´leve´e chez les cultivars a`feuilles de fouge`re que chez les varie´te´s unifolie´es; l'accumulation des rayonnements capte´s e´tait aussi toujours plus importante. L'EUR estimative varie conside´rablement avec la saison de croissance, mais elle ne diffe`re pas d'un cultivar a`l'autre ni entre les peuplements. La densite´de peuplement e´leve´e a engendre´une meilleure IL maximale que la faible densite´de peuplement a`un site-anne´e sur quatre seulement, mais elle a entraıˆne´une plus grande interception cumulative de rayonnements a`trois sites-anne´es sur quatre. Ces re´sultats indiquent que les futurs cultivars de pois chiche kabuli a`haut rendement adapte´s a`une courte pe´riode ve´ge´tative profiteront d'une IL plus importante et d'une plus grande accumulation des rayonnements intercepte´s graˆce aux feuilles de fouge`re, meˆme si ce caracte`re ne rehausse pas l'EUR davantage. La culture de cultivars a`feuilles de fouge`re et l'adoption de strate´gies favorisant un de´veloppement rapide du feuillage et une meilleure interception des rayons solaires sont la cle´du succe`s si on veut maximiser le rendement du pois chiche avec la bre`ve saison de croissance caracte´ristique aux grandes plaines du nord.
