abstract:
The aim of present investigations was to determine the effect of meteorological factors on the vegetation course of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L., 'Myles' cv.). Field experiments were conducted in 1999-2001 in Garlica Murowana near Kraków, and Felin near Lublin, in Poland. Chickpea was sown in three terms: middle of April, end of April, middle of May. Terms of phenophases, seeds yield, protein and starch content in seeds were determined on the background of the course of meteorological factors. The chickpea yield and its quality were dependent to the greatest degree on high total precipitation and its unfavourable distribution during vegetation season. These factors limit the possibilities of chickpea growing in Kraków and Lublin region. There were no connections between the sum of effective temperatures and chickpea yielding but the correlation between sum of effective temperatures and the level content of protein and starch in seeds was found. The sum of effective temperatures is not a characteristic permitting forecasting of chickpea yielding in Kraków and Lublin region.
