Abstract

Previous research in Mashhad collection chickpeas (MCC) has shown that there are some cold tolerant genotypes for fall planting in the highlands. To obtain more detailed information about the reaction of these genotypes to fall and spring planting, the yield and yield component responses of 33 chickpea genotypes (32 cold tolerant genotypes and one susceptible genotypes) to four planting dates (28 Sep., 16 Oct., 2 Nov., and 7 Mar.) were evaluated in 2000-2001 growing season. The experiment was conducted at the experimental field of college of agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad as a split plot design with two replications. The planting dates were imposed as main plot and chickpea genotypes as subplot. Effects of planting date and genotype on percent of plant survival (PPS) after winter, number. of pod per plant, 100 seed weight, yield and Harvest Index (HI) were significant (p
