To determine the optimum sowing date to reduce effects from abiotic stresses and increase grain yield in chickpea. These experiments also aimed to identify phenological drivers of crop development in chickpea and determine which varieties are best adapted to the target environments.
• There was diversity in phenology between varieties.
• Early sowing extended the crop vegetative period, but increased exposure to frost damage during the flowering phase.
• Desi varieties PBA Striker, PBA Slasher, PBA Boundary and CICA1521 were the highest yielding varieties at both sites.
• Dry conditions severely limited chickpea grain yield in 2019, but favoured early maturing varieties, particularly with mid May sowing.
