Abstract: A field survey in the local variety of chickpea was carried out at farmer’s farm of Mawai village of Banda district to evaluate the yield and its attributing character under different sowing date. The seeds were sown on dated November 02, December 03, December 16 and January 06, 2020. Late seed sowing results in poor yield and its attributes compared to optimum however there had been a very close relation between optimum sowing and early sowing. Yield attributing character such as days to flowering, days to maturity and number of grain per pod shows non-significant relationship but number of grain per plant seed index and shows significant relationship. Higher yield 2.05 tons/ha with seed index 241.89gm and number of grain per plant 25.61 had been reported when seeds are sown on December 03 and lowest characters had been found for the seeds when sown on January 06, 2020 however, number of grain per pods had been found to vary non-linearly towards the date of sowing.
