The present investigation entitled “To compare the effect of weather on growth, development and yield of chickpea under irrigated and unirrigated conditions” was conducted during rabi season 2013-14 at Research Farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (Chhattisgarh). Studies were carried out on different phenological stages right from sowing to harvesting under irrigated and unirrigated conditions in the three dates of sowing. Based on the duration of different phenological stages the average maximum and minimum temperatures at different growth stages in the different dates of sowing were workout. For comparative analysis Stevenson screen was installed in the crop field and the average maximum and minimum temperatures at different growth stages were also workout using the field data. The duration for sowing to germination, Grand growth, Bud formation, first flowering, 50 % flowering, pod development and physiological maturity for three different dates of sowings under irrigated and un irrigated condition was recorded and analyzed. It was found that from first flowering to 50% flowering onwards the duration under different dates of sowing in unirrigated condition is less when compared to irrigated condition. The average maximum temperature under D1 in the germination to grand growth stage is higher in the first date of sowing. However, later on that is from grand growth to bud formation the maximum temperature is higher in D1 as compare to D2 and D3 both in field as well as observatory data.
