Abstract

The study was conducted to check the impact of variable date of sowing for climate resilience in two consecutive years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 at Faisalabad. Three different dates of sowing 25th of October, 10th, and 20th of November were selected for screening of sixteen Desi chickpea, genotypes, and commercial variety Bittal-2016 as check. Data were recorded for days to 50% flowering, plant height, primary and secondary branches, pods per plant, 100-grain weight, and grain yield kg/ha. The highest grain yield per ha in both years was produced by D-20004 and D-20007. The comparison of sowing dates manifested that on 25th October the plant health remained good and was less affected by climate and produced enhanced grain yield. On the 10th of November and 20th of November, plant growth remained stunted and bear the low number of pods per plant ultimately producing a low yield. The selected lines can be used in breeding programs for the development of climate-resilient chickpea genotypes.
