Optimal sowing times and irrigation schedule of the chickpea (Cicer Arietinum L.) in semi-arid regions

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects different sowing times and irrigation schedules on seed yield water use chickpea in Central Anatolia's semi-arid conditions. For two years, field trials were conducted using a split-block trial design with three replications. addressed as well five treatments. While effect time grain varied by year, significant for both times. At times, treatments (flowering, pod set, filling) produced highest yield. efficiency higher late than early sowing. plant consumption increased during period, amount decreased. seasonal response factor sowing, other hand, lower
