The Response of Chickpea Cultivars to Field Water Deficit

摘要: An experiment was carried out in 2006 to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes (I1, I2, I3 and I4 for after 80, 110, 140 170 mm evaporation from class A pan, respectively) on ground cover, yield components four chickpea cultivars (Arman, ILC Jam kabuli type Pirooz desi type) field. In most stages crop growth development, cover under higher than that other cultivars. The all reduced, as water deficit severity increased. Grain were significantly affected by regimes. Mean grains per plant, 1000 grain weight unit area lower those regimes, but these traits did not differ among I1, I2 I3. Thus, pan could be a suitable regime cultivars, when resources are limited. Grains plant comparison, largest smallest obtained Pirooz, respectively. general, mean cultivar. superiority resulted yield, compared However, no significant differences Arman, observed. Interaction cultivar x significant, indicating superior both well limited conditions.
