LLERENA HIDALGO, Ángel Bernardo. Agronomic behavior of chickpea crop in the sector of El Limoncito, Ecuador. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.6, pp.961-968.  Epub 21-Mar-2022. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v12i6.2775.

In the present study, the agronomic behavior of the Peruvian tropicalized chickpea at different sowing distances was evaluated, under the edaphoclimatic conditions of the area of El Limoncito, province of Santa Elena, Ecuador. The experimental design applied was the completely randomized block design (DBCA), where five treatments with different sowing distances were studied, which were T1 (0.1 x 0.5 m), T2 (0.2 x 0.5 m), T3 (0.3 x 0.5 m), T4 (0.4 x 0.5 m) and T5 (0.5 x 0.5 m). In each treatment, the variables of plant height, number of flowers, number of branches, number of pods and yield were analyzed. The results obtained show that T2 with distance of 0.2 x 0.5 m gives optimal results in terms of plant height, number of flowers, number of branches, number of pods and yield.
