Evaluation of Different Sowing Methods on Growth Parameters in Chickpea (Cicer aritinum L.)

Chickpea is a major pulse crop of India and major protein source for vegetarian population of this country. The average yield of this crop is stagnated due to many reasons like method of sowing. Present experiment was conducted at instructional farm of KVK Morena to evaluate the different sowing methods to achieve maximum productivity in chickpea. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with four replication. The results revealed that the FIRB system of sowing gave maximum crop yield (16.37q/ha) and showed significant increase on other growth and yield parameters. The Zero tillage and ridge and furrow sowing were also proven better than conventional method of sowing of chickpea.
