Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during rainy and post -rainy seasons of 1992-93 and 1993-94 at Dharwad to
study the influence of season on yield and yield components of 15 genotypes of gram (Cicer arietinum L.). The number
of flowers were significantly more during rainy season. However, the pod set (%) was less due to less number of pods
in rainy than in post-rainy season. Similar trend waspbserved with respect to seed yield also. Among the genotypes, 'K
8501' recorded the highest seed yield during rainy season, which also had higher pod dry weight, shelling percentage
and harvest index. However, during post-rainy season, the genotypes 'A 1' and 'ICV 2' recorded higher seed yield
compared with the other genotypes. The genotypes 'Nagpur', 'BG 376', 'BG 374', 'BG 303' and 'NPT' maintained
minimum variation in the yield between rainy and post-rainy seasons.
