Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted in farmer’s 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 character’s 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 Chola-2, BARI Chola-3, BARI Chola-5 and BARI Chola-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 higher yield (1.22 t/ha) than control and other priming techniques. Chickpea yield was influenced by priming among the varieties. Combined effect of varieties and priming techniques, BARI Chola-5 gave better performance at 8 hours priming level and BARI Chola-8 gave better performance at 12 hours priming level. Introduction

Keywords: Chickpea, Seed priming, Yield

Location: Chabbishnagar, Rajshahi

Start Date: 01-11-2002

End Date: 28-03-2003

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Chickpea

Objectives:

The study was undertaken to find out the effect of priming on yield and yield contributing characters of chickpea.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at FSRD site Chabbishnagor, Rajshahi during Rabi season of 2002-2003. The treatments of the experiment comprised of four different seed priming techniques (Control, 4 hours, 8 hours and 12 hours) and four varieties of chickpea (BARI Chola-2, BARI Chola-3, BARI Chola-5 and BARI Chola-8). This experiment was laid out in a RCB design with 3 replications. The size of each 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 P₂O₅ and 20 kg K₂O 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 method and seed rate was maintained 50 kg/ha. The crop was harvested on 28 March 2003. Weeding and plant protection measures were done as and when required. Data were collected on different yield and yield components and analyzed statistically.

Achievement/Findings:

Priming techniques had slightly affected on plant population, pods/plant, seed yield and straw yield . Among four priming levels, 8 hour’s priming produced higher number of plant (27) as well as higher yield (1.22 t/ha) compare to control and other priming techniques. It was observed that plant population, plant height, pods/plant, 1000 seed wt and grain yield were significantly influenced by varieties. The highest plant height (38.61cm) was observed in BARI Chola-3 than other varieties. BARI Chola-5 produced higher number of pods/plant (38.65) compared to other varieties. The highest 1000 seed weight (220.54 gm) was obtained from BARI Chola-8 and lowest (112.40) was in BARI Chola-2. Among four varieties BARI Chola-5 produced slightly higher grain yield (1.12 t/ha) and the lowest by BARI Chola-2 and BARI Chola-8. BARI Chola-5 produced higher number of plant population in control, 4 hours and 8 hours priming level but BARI Chola-8 produced higher number of plant population in 12 hours priming level. There was no significant difference in plant height, BARI Chola-5 produced higher number of pods/plant in all priming level than other varieties. BARI Chola-8 produced the highest 1000 seed weight in all priming level, which was followed by BARI Chola-3. There was a significant difference of grain yield and straw yield on combined effect. .BARI Chola-5 produced higher yield in the priming level of 4 hours, 8 hours and control due to its higher plant population. But only BARI Chola-8 produced higher yield (1.24 t/ha) in 12 hours priming level due to its higher number of plant population.
