Abstract
The field and laboratory were carried out during rabi season 2011, at the Department of Seed Science and Technology, College of Agriculture, UAS, Raichur. Significantly higher seed yield (21.41 qt ha-1) of chickpea were recorded in ridges and furrow planting method (45x10 cm) over other planting methods which may results from significantly higher growth and seed attributes. Among genotypes BGD-103 was recorded significantly higher seed yield (19.89 qt ha-1) and its seed yield attributes as compared to JG-11 and A-1. The planting method and genotype did not differ with respect to germination percentage but recorded significantly higher Seedling Vigour index-I (2832 and 2931) and Seedling Vigour index-II (20.1 and 21.0) respectively.
