The effect of planting arrangements on yield, yield components and some agronomic characteristics in Chickpea

In order to investigate effects of determine the best equidistance arrangement with different densities Chickpea (Cicer arientinum var. Philip). Design of experiment was randomized complete block with four replications. Treatments were control (50*7) (cm) and different of row spacing and plant to plant (cm) distance (10*10, 12*12, 14*14, 16*16, 18*18, 20*20, 22*22, 24*24, 26*26 and 28*28). Experiment was conducted in 2006-2007 year in on the Research Farm of Gonbad Agricultural Faculty (Iran). Equidistance arrangement showed no significant effect on seed yield, seed number per pod but it had significant effect on pod number per plant, seed weight, number of deaf pods and number lateral branches. The results indicated the highest seed yield was obtained from treatment row spacing and plant to plant 18* 18 (cm) that was 4665 Kg/ha and was 36.1 percentages more than control.
