The Effect of Irrigation on Spring-sown Chickpea

This study was aimed to determine agronomic and morphological characters of 12 chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars under irrigated conditions in Diyarbak2r in 2000 spring season. The cultivars were sown in a Randomised Complete Block Design with four replications. Natural plant height, seed yield/plant, number of pods/plant, leaf size, number of leaflets per leaf, seed size and pod size were increased with irrigation application. However, protein content in grain decreased with irrigation.
