A field experiment conducted to study the effect to find out optimum time of sowing and suitable cultivar for sustainable chickpea production in the region. The study was undertaken to find yield variation with extended sowing date. Five different sowing dates viz., 30th October (44 MW), 15th November (46 MW), 30th November (48 MW), 15th December (50 MW) and 30th December (52 MW) with two chickpea cultivars viz., JAKI 9218 and Vijay were studied. The varieties selected dominated chickpea cultivation in the region. The results revealed that crop sown on 30th October produced higher but statistically equivalent number of pods/plant, number of seeds/plant and grain yield as compared to 15th November sowing. Crop sown on 30th October accumulated higher Growing Degree Days (GDD: 2012 day0C) and Heliothermal Units (HTU: 13515 0C day hr) closely followed by 15th November sown crop (GDD; 1975-day 0C, HTU: 13130 0C day hr) during cropping period from vegetative to pod-seed development phase. The number of pods/plant, weight of seed/plant and test weight was higher in cultivar JAKI 9218 than Vijay. Maximum GDD (1888 0C day) and HTU (12706 0C day hr) were accumulated by cultivar JAKI 9218 closely followed by Vijay (GDD: 1856 0C day; HTU: 12449 0C day hr).
