Effects of sowing time and spacing on growth and yield of chick pea for green pod

To study the “Effects of sowing time and spacing on growth and yield of chick pea for green pod in Middle Gujarat Agro-Climatic Condition” was conducted at Agricultural ResearchStation,AnandAgriculturalUniversity, Derol during 2015-16 to 2017-18. The experiment was laid out in a Split Plot Design(SPD)withthreereplications,comprising date of sowing (6) as a main plot and Spacing (2) sub plot of chick pea total thirtysixtreatmentcombinations.Thest thresults showed that the 1Oct. (40Std. week) sowing recorded significantly higher green pod yield (1554, 1713, 1861 and 1709 kg/ha) was found in GG-2 variety during the all the year and pooled analysis. However, in case of spacing S(45x10 cm) recorded 2higher green pod in yield (1144, 1486, 1568 and 1399 kg/ha) was found non-significant during first two year, while significant in third year and pooled analysis
