9.1 Planting date
The date shall record of planting to experiment.
9.2 50% germination day
The date shall record to the 50% germinated plant from internal 4 rows of small plot.
9.3 50 % flowering day
The date shall record from seedling day to 50 % flowering day of internal 4 rows.
9.4 Flower color
The time of 50% flowering shall record and can be seen white and purple color.
9.5 Plant type
Plant type shall record 45-50 days after planting.
(1) Erect
(2) Semi-erect
(3) Bush
9.6 Ripening day
The date shall record from seedling day to pods are ripening from 80% plant of internal 4 rows.
9.7 Plant height (cm)
At the ripening time of pods, plant height shall be record from plant base to leaf tip for 10 sample plants from internal 4 rows.
9.8 No of branch per plant
The record shall be started at the harvesting time for 10 random plants from internal 4 rows. Average pods per plant can be got by record of branch which has at least 2 sound pods from each plant.
9.9 No of pod per plant
The record shall be started at the harvesting time for 10 random plants from internal 4 rows. Average pods per plant can be got by record of pods which has at least a sound pods from each plant.
9.10 No of seeds per pod
The no of seeds per pod shall be counted random 10 pods from 10 sample plants and calculating average.
9.11 Seed type
Angular, Owl”s head, Pea-shaped
9.12 Seed color
The seed color shall be measured when the moisture is 8-13 % and can be seen various color.
9.13 100 seed weight (g)
The seed weight shall be measured when the moisture is 8-13 %. The 100 seed is gotten from 10 sample plants.
9.14 Distinct character
Distinct character of testing variety such as early mature variety, disease resistant, heat resistant, etc...
9.15 Pest resistant (score)
Pest resistant shall be record from tinning time to ripening time.
Score (1) Resistant
Score (2) Tolerance
Score (3) Moderate
Score (4) Moderately susceptible
Score (5) Susceptible
9.16 Disease resistant (score)
Disease resistant shall be record from tinning time to ripening time.
Score (1) Resistant
Score (2) Tolerance
Score (3) Moderate
Score (4) Moderately susceptible
Score (5) Susceptible
9.17 Harvested plant
The harvested area that is internal 4 rows and leave two borders 1 ft for each rows harvested at harvesting time. All plant must be count in the harvested area.
9.18 Yield from harvested area (g)
The yield from harvested area shall be measured when the moisture is 8 %.
9.19 GMO crop or not
10. Calculating yield
Calculate the yield from the harvested area.
yield from sample area (g) x 43560
Yield (bsk) = ---------------------------------------------------
Sample size (13 ft x 4 ft) x 454 x 69
454 = gram in a pound
69 = chickpea weight in a basket (lb)
