Abstract:
This research was conducted to determine the effects of irrigation on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) at Agriculture Management Office in Bismil-Diyarbakir, Turkey, in 2001 spring season. Four chickpea varietieis were used as material. The experiment was set up as split block desin with four replications under irrigated and rainfed conditions. Observations were recorded on 33 morphological and agronomic characters. Days to maturity, pod length, pod width, pod roughness, seed length. Seed width, seed roughness, number of secondary branches plant-1, biological yield plant-1, number of filled pods plant-1 number of seed plant-1, seed yield plant-1, 100 seed weight, grain yield unit area-1, total biological yield, hay yield unit area-1 and harvest index increased by irrigation.
