A lysimeter experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2004 and 2005 to evaluate five varieties of chick pea with five salinity levels (ECiw-0.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 dSm-1) at Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The grain and fodder yields decreased significantly with an increasing in the salinity of irrigation water during both the year as well as in pooled. Among the varieties of chick pea, variety GG-4 gave significantly the highest grain and fodder yield in all the salinity levels of irrigation water. The variety GG-4 recorded highest mean grain yield (17.38 g), mean salinity index (71.2%), minimum Na/K ratio (0.34) in fodder and minimum yield reduction (46.2) at high salinity levels.

Abstract


A lysimeter experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2004 and 2005 to evaluate five varieties of chick pea with five salinity levels (ECiw-0.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 dSm-1) at Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The grain and fodder yields decreased significantly with an increasing in the salinity of irrigation water during both the year as well as in pooled. Among the varieties of chick pea, variety GG-4 gave significantly the highest grain and fodder yield in all the salinity levels of irrigation water. The variety GG-4 recorded highest mean grain yield (17.38 g), mean salinity index (71.2%), minimum Na/K ratio (0.34) in fodder and minimum yield reduction (46.2) at high salinity levels.
