Aims

To report on chickpea sowing time x row space x plant density at Wimmera (Minyip),Victoria.

Key messages
  • Generally early sowing and higher plant densities resulted in highest yields.
  • Wider row spacing’s with standing stubble (60 and 30 cm) produced 10% higher grain yields than slashed stubble treatments (19.5 cm and 30 cm) for chickpeas in 2009.
