Radiation Interception and Utilization by Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) at Different Sowing Dates and Plant Populations
… ive radiation (PAR). The amount of PAR intercepted by each treatment was estimated from the measured leaf area index. The relationship between total dry matter, seed yield and accumulated intercepted PAR was linear. The average efficiency of radiation utilization for total dry matter was 1.56 g-MJ-1 during the seasons. …
