2. Gram is commonly known as chick pea, Bengal gram,
garbanzo bean, ceci bean, chana, .
It is known as “King of Pulses”.
Self pollinated crop.
Long day & C3 plant.
It is the most important pulse crop in India.
India ranks 1st in the world in chick pea production.
3. In India, Chick pea occupies about 38% of area under
pulses & contributes 50% of production.
It is used for human consumption(as dal, vegetables,
snacks, sweets etc.) & for feeding to animals.
The taste of the leaf of chick pea is sour due to the
presence of Maleic acid (90-96%); and Oxalic acid(4-
10%). Leaves are recommended for intestine disorder
patient.
4-10 kg of these acids can be obtained from one ha crop.
Germinated seeds can cure scurvy.

• Gram is rich source of calcium , iron and niacin.
5. Gram has been known in this country for a long time. It is
said to be one of the oldest pulse known and cultivated
from ancient times both in Asia and Europe.

26. Singha (1987) suggested more attention by chickpea
breeders & conclude the following results.
I. Many characters such as large no. of primary
branches, seed size, tallness, cold tolerance &
resistance to blight can be transfer from kabuli
type to desi type.
II. The desi type can contribute large no. of
secondary branches, more pods/plant, more

fusarium wilt.

30. Gram is highly sensitive to soil aeration and because of this
reason it is not grown on heavy soils and need special care
for seedbed preparation.
One deep ploughing is required after kharif crops in summer
for larger conservation of rainwater in the soil profile for
subsequent use by the crop
It requires a loose and well aerated seedbed
Required rough seedbed rather than fine and compact.

31. 15 – 20th of October is the best time for chickpea sowing in northern India. Delay
will reduce the yield.
In tarai, shallow water table and more winter rainfall area Ist FN of November is
most suitable.
Early sowing of chick pea results in excessive vegetative growth & poor setting of
pods.
Early sowing results more attack of wilt owing to high temperature at that time.
The seed may be sown by seed drill; or local plough. Depth of sowing should be 6-8
cm, shallow sown crop is more liable to be damaged by wilt.
Spacing : Desi type 30x10cm
Kabuli type 45x10cm.
Seed rate : Early sown75-80 kg/ha.
Late sown: 80-100 kg/ha
Seed should be sown after treatment with suitable fungicide.
Seed rate: Desi Type 65-70 kg/ha
Kabuli type 80-90 kg/ha
32. Chick pea being a leguminous crop can fix atmospheric nitrogen
(75%) through symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
NPK requirement: rainfed 12.5:25:25
Irrigated: 25:50:50
Bio-fertilizers: Seed treatment with the Rhizobium strain namely
Cicer rhizobium will increase the Nitrogen fixing ability of the
plant and thereby yield will be enhanced by 20-30%.
Fungicides thiram , captan, carbendazim @2-3gm/kg seed.

33. Chick pea is mostly sown as rain fed crop.
Under drought conditions, the crop requires 2 irrigations at
critical stages .
1) at Pre-flowering and
2) at pod formation
If water is adequate then four irrigations are recommended at:
1) Sowing
2) Branching
3) Flowering
4) Pod fill
First irrigation not allowed to give before four weeks after
sowing.
Irrigation not allowed at flowering.
Excess irrigation enhances vegetative growth and depress gram
yield.
