Abstract :The research was conducted in Bayavsar Village-Beysehir Town/Konya during 2014 vegetation period in a farmer field. Chickpea varieties named as Azkan, Seckin, Cagatay, Sezen Bey, Inci and Hasan Bey were used as material of the trial. Field trial was set up according to the “Split Plots in Randomized Blocks” with three replications. Sowing of the six chickpea varieties were realized in four different times insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(25th of March, 05th of April, 15th of April and 25th of April);. Main plots were consisted from the sowing times and the subplots were consisted from the varieties. The highest values for number of pod, seed yield, 100 seed weight and protein ratio was ob-tained from the first sowing time and the mentioned characteristics were decreased by delayed sowing. Protein ratio was increased by delayed sow-ing and the highest protein ratio was obtained from the last sowing time. Results of the study showed that seed yield values were statistically signifi-cant by the effects of sowing times, varieties and sowing time x variety interaction. Mean of the varieties showed the highest seed yield value as 217.1 kg da-1 on the first sowing time. As the mean of the sowing times, the highest seed yield was 169.3 kg da-1 on the Inci variety. Consequently, 25th of March as sowing time and Inci and Azkan varieties may be advised for higher seed yield on chickpea in Central Anatolian ecological conditions.
