A field experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University farm Dhaka, Bangladesh during November, 2017 to March, 2018 in
rabi season with a view to study the growth and yield variations in chickpea as
influenced by fertilization and sowing date. The experiment was carried out in
split plot design with three replication. The treatments consists of four
fertilization levels as F

=Control ( No fertilizer ) , F
= Recommended dose of
fertilizer (45kg urea ha

= R + vermicompost (2.5 ton ha

and three sowing date as S

December. Data on different parameters yield and yield contributing characters
were recorded and variation was observed. Results indicated that the maximum
height of plant (30.30, 48.14 at 60 and 90 days after sowing (DAS) respectively
, maximum number of branches (5.97, 27.32, 39.87 at 30, 60, 90 DAS
respectively ) , maximum pod plant

(70.00) , maximum seed yield (1.71 t/ha)
, HI% (53.51) were obtained from treatment F
fertilization . On the other hand
maximum values for plant height (15.18, 31.27, 50.52 at 30, 60,90 DAS
respectively) were found from treatment S

sowing and for branches (30.88,

sowing but pod plant
(86.03) ,
seed yield (1.32) and HI%(49.34) was obtained from treatment S
sowing . The
highest value of plant height were observed (15.93 at 30 DAS) from treatment
combination F

and (41.13, 53.30 at 60, 90 DAS respectively) from treatment

Maximum
number of pod plant

(114.60) and seed yield (2.54 t/ha) from F
and
maximum HI% was obtained 65.14 from F

. From the results of present
study it can be concluded that manure like cowdung and vermicompost
influenced crop production considerably whereas sowing date has less effect on
crop production.
