Author(s): Shweta Tiwari, HS Thakur and OP Girothia
Abstract: In order to study the effect of moisture stress and non stress condition on phenological character of nine cultivars of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), an experiment consisted of 27 treatment combinations comprising three moisture stress condition viz. S0 (Non stress condition), S6L (Water withheld from 6 leaf stage) and SFL(Water withheld from flowering) in main-plots and 9 chickpea varieties viz. Ujjain-21, JAKI-9218, IG-593, JG-6, JG-16, JG-130, JG-412, JG-11 and KAK-2 in sub-plots. Experiment laid out in split plot design with three replications. Moisture stress condition S6L (Water withheld from 6 leaf stage) registered significantly lowest values of days to flower initiation, days to 50% flowering, days to pod initiation and days to physiological maturity and the length of reproductive phase. Chickpea variety, KAK- 2 noted the significantly least values of days to flower initiation, days to 50% flowering, days to pod initiation and physiological maturity. Which is found tolerance to moisture stress.
