Abstract: The present research investigation was conducted during Rabi season 2017 at Research Farm, AICRP on chickpea, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P.). The research experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replication and treatment comprised of 20 Chickpea genotypes evaluated under two dates of sowing. The various genotypes expressed a significant variability among themselves in relation to their phenological development and yield attributes of Chickpea under normal (November) and late (January) sown conditions. The high temperature had a strong influence on almost all the parameters of yield in chickpea genotypes under investigation. Under late sown (January) the genotypes flowered (1-5 days) earlier than the normal sown (November) conditions. This earliness was also noted in attaining most of other phenological stages in late sown condition due to enhanced temperature. Genotypes G19, G13 and G9 required lesser time for initiation of first flower and attainment of general flowering, pod initiation and physiological maturity under both normal and late sown conditions.
