An experiment was conducted at farmers’ field at FSRD site, Chabbishnagor, Rajshahi during Rabi season from November 2002 to March 2003 to study the effect of seed priming on yield and yield contributing characters’ of different chickpea varieties in Barind soil. Four levels of priming, (Control, 4 hours, 8 hours and 12 hours) and four different BARI released varieties of chickpea (BARI Chhola-2, BARI Chhola-3, BARI Chhola-5 and BARI Chhola-8) were used in this study. The result showed that priming seeds produced significantly higher yield than control (Non priming). Among the priming levels, 8 hours priming gave the highest seed yield (1. 22 t/ha). BARI Chhola-5 produced the highest grain yield (1.12 t/ha). Chickpea yield was influenced by seed priming among the varieties. Combined effect of varieties and priming levels, BARI Chhola-5 produced the highest grain yield (1.29 t/ha) at 8 hours priming level and BARI chhola-3 perform best at 12 hours priming level.

To study the effect of seed priming on yield and yield contributing characters’ of different chickpea varieties in Barind soil
The experiment was conducted at FSRD site Chabbishnagor, Rajshahi during rabi season of 2002-2003. The treatment of the experiment comprised of four different seed priming levels (Control, 4 hours, 8 hours and 12 hours) and four varieties of chickpea (BARI Chhola-2, BARI chhola-3, BARI chhola-5 and BARI chhola-8). This experiment was laid out in a RCB design with 3 replications. The size of unit plot was 4m x 3m. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were applied as basal during final land preparation at the rate of 20 kg N, 40 kg P205 and 20 kg K20 per hectare in the form of Urea TSP and MP, respectively. Seeds were sown in the field on 01 November 2002. The seeds were sown in line sowing apart 40 cm and seed rate was maintained 40 kg/ha. Weeding and plant protection measures were done as and when required. The crop was harvested on 28 March 2003. Data were collected on different yield and yield components and data were statistically analyzed.

It was found that seed priming level 8-12 hours is effective for chickpea cultivation under Barind region. BARI Chhola-5 performed better at 8 hours seed priming level but BARI Chhola-3 performed better at 12 hours seed priming level due to it's bold seeded.
