Evaluation of Yield and Yield Related Traits of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Genotypes under Water Stress Condition
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: Drought is the most common abiotic stress limiting chickpea production because chickpea is usually grown under the residual soil moisture. To identify and evaluate drought tolerant chickpea genotypes, the study was carried out during rabi season 2018 and 2019 with three biological replications at Agricultural biotechnology experiment field, SVPUAT, Meerut India. The experiment materials consisted of 10 chickpea genotypes. Chickpea genotypes were significantly different for evaluated traits under non stress and stress conditions, indicating that drought stress increased variation for these traits. Drought stress reduced seed yield and its attributes. Mean seed yield was decreased by 20.46 % and 19.31% in Vishal during 2018 and 2019, respectively under non stress condition than irrigated condition. ICC 14778, JG 11 and ICC 4958 genotypes were detected with high seed yield under non irrigated and irrigated condition. They were also observed superior to the seed yield under irrigated condition.
