Abstract
This study was carried out at Grdarasha field /Collage of Agricultural Engineering Science during 2023-2024. A factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design (RCBD), with three replicates, sowing dates (December 23th, 2023, January 17th, 2024 and February 11th, 2024), and three varieties of chickpea (Rafidain, Gab3 and TH85) were implemented. Gab3 produced the highest rates of plant height and no. of branches plant-1. The maximum rates of plant height were found in sowing at December 23th, the no. of branches plant-1 at sowing on February 11th and fresh pods plant-1 at January 17th. From the interaction between varieties and sowing dates was recorded the highest plant by Gab3 at December 23th and maximum no. of branches was recorded by Gab3 at sowing February 11th and no significant effect were recorded for other parameters. Weight of 100 seed produced the highest rate for Gab3 in physiological maturity and no. of seed pod-1 recorded by TH85 in full maturity stage. At sowing on December 23th produced the highest weight of 100 seed while, on January 17th gave the maximum rate of no. of seed pod- in both stages. The interaction between treatments most of parameters recorded the maximum rate by Gab3 at December 23th in physiological maturity and by TH85 at January 17th in full maturity. TH85 surpassed all varieties in the protein percentage and protein yield in both harvesting stages and these parameters gave different rates between sowing dates, also with interaction between treatments
