Effect of elevated carbon-dioxide on plant growth, physiology, yield and seed quality of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Indo-Gangetic plains.
Physiology and Molecular Biology
of Plants 27: 251-263.
... Lamichaney et al. (2021) examined the effects of atmospheric CO2 enrichment on chickpea (Cicer arietinum, cv. JG 14).
Plants were grown in the field in open-top chambers for two separate growing seasons (2017/18 and 2028/19) under either ambient (~400 ppm) or elevated (~600 ppm, maintained from 9 am to 5 pm only from plant emergence through harvest)
... CO2 enrichment had a positive effect on a number of growth-related parameters.
... pod dry weight and total plant dry weight were stimulated by approximately +19% and +16%, respectively, in both years in the elevated CO2 treatment compared to ambient.
Additionally, elevated CO2 increased both the number of pods and number of seeds per plant by 8-10% and 8-9%, respectively, leading to an overall CO2-induced increase in seed yield of +11.2% in 2017/18 ,and +17.6% in 2018/19."
