This paper reports the findings of field experiments conducted at Wagga Wagga and Leeton (southern NSW), and Condobolin (central
western NSW) in 2020, where the phenology and biomass accumulation and yield responses of diverse chickpea varieties were evaluated across three sowing dates from late April to early June (Wagga Wagga and Leeton) and two sowing dates, early May and early June (Condobolin, Figure 1), under dryland conditions, with additional irrigated treatments at Wagga Wagga and Leeton.
• Environmental and management conditions such as water availability and sowing date (SD) significantly affected phenological development, grain yield, disease levels and biomass accumulation.
• The highest yields at both Wagga Wagga and Leeton were associated with mid to late sowing (SD2 and SD3), and early sowing (SD1) at Condobolin.
• The highest yields at both Wagga Wagga and Leeton were associated with the dryland treatment; there was a significant yield penalty associated with irrigation due to increased disease incidence (Wagga Wagga) and lodging (Leeton).
