Chickpea productivity is greatly affected by environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, temperature, environmental pollution and nutrient. The aim of this study, determination of some physiological charecters and nitrogen uptake at different developmental stages of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under irrigation and noirrigation conditions. The experimental design was split plot with three replicas. Growth conditions (irrigation and noirrigation) were located in the main plots, growth stage (pre-flowering, flowering, pod setting and harvest time) in the subplots. Above-ground mass, below-ground mass, weight as root/stem rate (%), lenght as root/stem rate (%), leaf area index, above-ground dry weight, relative growth rate, net assimilation rate, nitrogen concentration and nitrogen uptake were investigated in this study. In the research, drought stress occured when the plants comes to generative stage due to increasing temperature and declining rainfall. Therefore above-ground mass was reduced. But root development was stronger under dry conditions. Irrigation in the generative stage will affect positively plant growth and yield in chickpea.
