- Chickpea (Cicer arietinum), often known as garbanzo bean or Bengal gramme, is a pea family (Fabaceae) annual plant that is extensively farmed for its nutritious seeds.
- Chickpeas are a staple cuisine in India, Africa, Central and South America.
- The seeds are an excellent source of iron, phosphorus, and folic acid, as well as being high in fibre and protein.
- Chickpeas, which are high in vitamins, minerals, and fibre, may help you lose weight, improve digestion, and lower your risk of illness.
- Furthermore, this bean is high in protein and may be used as a meat substitute in a variety of vegetarian and vegan meals.
SOIL : Sandy loamy soil and black soil
TEMPRATURE : 24-30 degree C
pH : 5.5-7.0
RAINFALL : 65-95 mm
CLIMATE : Cold climate but not frosting one
DURATION : 5-5.5 months
1. Critical Stages for Irrigation
Chickpea requires irrigation mainly at specific growth stages:
- Pre-sowing Irrigation (if soil moisture is low) – Ensures good germination.
- Vegetative Stage (30–40 DAS) – Helps in better plant establishment.
- Flowering Stage (50–60 DAS) – Most critical stage for pod setting.
- Pod Filling Stage (75–85 DAS) – Supports grain development.
2. Irrigation Schedule
- Rainfed Areas: If rainfall is sufficient (350–400 mm), irrigation may not be needed.
- Irrigated Areas: 2–3 irrigations are optimal.
- First irrigation: 30–35 days after sowing (DAS).
- Second irrigation: 50–60 DAS (flowering stage).
- Third irrigation: 75–85 DAS (pod filling stage), if needed.
3. Irrigation Methods
- Flood Irrigation: Suitable for heavy soils but may cause waterlogging.
- Drip Irrigation: Ideal for water conservation and better yield.
- Sprinkler Irrigation: Useful in sandy or light-textured soils.

Time of Sowing:
- North India: October to mid-November
- Central & South India: October-November
Spacing & Sowing Depth:
- Row-to-row spacing: 30-45 cm
- Plant-to-plant spacing: 10-12 cm
- Sowing depth: 4-6 cm
Sowing Methods:
- Drill method (recommended) ensures uniform plant population.
- Broad casting requires extra seed quantity and is less effective.
Land Preparation
- Plowing: 2-3 deep plowings followed by harrowing to break soil clods.
- Leveling: A leveled field ensures good seedbed preparation.
PRODUCT RECOMMENDED:
Treat the bulbs of the banana plants with Power Plant Seed Treatment.
1. DEFICIENCY OF PHOSPHOROUS
- Leaves may appear dark green, blue-green, or purple.
- Leaves may be curled, distorted, or smaller than normal.
- Older leaves may develop a purplish tint and tip dieback.
- New leaves may appear healthy, but they are often small.
- Plants may appear weak and stunted with delayed maturity.
TREATMENT :
|
Use NITROKING 2-3 ml per litre of water |
 |
|
Use SPALL90 0.5 ml per litre of water |
 |
2. DEFICIENCY OF NITROGEN
- Yellowing leaves: Older leaves turn yellow, usually starting at the tips and margins. This is called chlorosis.
- Stunted growth: Plants may appear bushy or stunted due to shorter stems and smaller leaves.
- Reduced fruit set: Flowering, fruiting, and grain filling may be delayed.
- Reduced protein content: Protein content in seeds and vegetative sections decreases.
- Thin stems: In severe cases, stems may become weak and break easily.
