Effect of planting date and genotype on intercepted radiation and radiation use efficiency in chickpea crop (Cicer arietinum L.)

Two field experiments, to assess the effect of planting date on canopy cover, intercepted radiation (IR), and radiation use efficiency of grain yield (εg) and biomass production (εb) of five chickpea genotypes, were conducted in 2014 & 2015 in NE South Africa. Planting date (1, 14 and 28 May bei...
