Abstract

This research study was carried out ever first time on the field of 14 farmers of subdivision (tahseel) Hyderabad (rural), Sindh province of Pakistan during Rabi season, 2021-22 to evaluate the capacity of the targeted area as well as performance of chickpea variety DG-92 to find out a new chickpea belt in Sindh province of Pakistan. The field study was conducted in a three replicated randomized complete block design (RCBD) with net plot size of one acre per farmer, means 14 farmers-14 acres in total. Different fields of fourteen (14) farmers were taken as treatments, these were (T1 = Farmer 1, T2= Farmer 2, T3 = Farmer 3, T4 = Farmer 4, T5 = Farmer 5, T6 = Farmer 6, T7 = Farmer 7, T8= Farmer 8, T9 = Farmer 9,  T10 = Farmer 10, T11 = Farmer 11, T12 = Farmer 12, T13 = Farmer 13 and T14= Farmer 14) were evaluated the performance of chickpea variety DG–92 for various agronomic traits. The results showed that highest plant population m-2 (32.95) was recorded from the field of farmer 4 and the lowest plant population m-2 (22.89) was recorded from the field of farmer 10. The maximum plant height (77.23 cm) was recorded from the field of farmer 1 and the minimum plant height (48.63 cm) was recorded from the field of farmer 8. The maximum branches plant-1 (21.70) were recorded from the field of farmer 1 and the minimum branches plant-1 (7.37) were recorded from the field of farmer 5. The maximum pods plant-1 (75.28) were recorded from the field of farmer 3 and the lowest pods plant -1 (30.30) were observed from the field of farmer 8. The maximum seeds plant-1 (152.37) were recorded from the field of farmer 4 and the lowest seeds plant-1 (37.97) were observed from the field of farmer 8). The maximum seed weight plant-1 (25.40 g) was observed from the field of farmer 4 and the minimum seeds weight plant-1 (6.74 g) was observed from the field of farmer 8. The maximum seed index (310.42 g) was recorded from the field of (Farmer 5) and the minimum seed index (216.03) was recorded from the field of farmer 8. The maximum seed yield (1713.7 kg ha-1) was observed from the field of farmer 1 and the minimum seed yield (309,0kg ha-1) was observed from the field of farmer 7 and the maximum biological yield (5140.9 kg ha-1) was recorded from the field of farmer 1 and the minimum biological yield (929.8 kg ha-1) was recorded from the field of farmer 7. It is therefore, suggested that subdivision (tahseel) Hyderabad rural has the great potential to cultivate Chickpea (Gram) crop to add another major Pulse crop in the cropping pattern of the area during Rabi season.
