Abstract
In a 2-year field trial conducted at Ishurdi, kabuli gram (Cicer ariet inum L.) responded to the planting date (15 October, 1 November, 15 No vember, 1 December, 15 December and January). The early-sown crop atta ined more vegetative growth, set more pods with bolder seeds and gave increased yield than late-sown crop. Compared with the sowing date of 1 November, other dates reduced the yield by 27.8-201.6%. The first fo rtnight of November was found the optimum time of sowing.
