Analysis of Characters Affecting Yield and Yield in Chickpea Plant

Abstract

It aimed to reveal some chickpea varieties' yield and yield parameters with descriptive statistics in Yozgat ecological conditions for two years in 2022 and 2023. In the study, 10 chickpea varieties (Azkan, Çağatay, Çakır, Gökçe, Hasanbey, İnci, Seçkin, Sezenbey, Uzunlu 99 and Zuhal) were used as materials. In the study, plant height (cm), first pod height (cm), biological yield (g), number of pods per plant (pcs), number of seeds per plant (pcs), seed yield per plant (g), hundred seed weight (g), harvest index. (%) and seed yield per decare (kg da-1) characteristics were examined. As a result of the study, it was revealed that chickpea varieties were significantly affected by all the examined agronomic characteristics except the height of the first pod. According to the two-year averages of chickpea varieties, the number of pods per plant varied between 13.67-39.33 units, the number of seeds per plant varied between 12.00-28.67 units, seed yield per plant varied between 4.26-8.37 g, hundred seed weight varied between 28.67-36.37 g and seed yield per decare varied between 82.71-124.5 kg da-1. It was observed that Gökçe, Çakır, and Çağatay chickpea varieties included in the study had high seed yield.
