Abstract: Pulses have emerged as the most important crop which has been cultivated by human being since the time immortal. Therefore, an experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2013 -14 at SIF of CSAUT Kanpur. Twelve treatments under which 4 Potassium levels viz., K1, K2, K3 and K4 (0, 30, 60 and 90 kg ha-1) and Three Varieties (Udai, Avarodhi and KWR-108) were tested in factorial randomized block design with three Replications. Significantly highest plant height, yield contributing characters viz. number of pods per plant, number of seed per plant seed weight per plant and weight of 100 seed, grain yield (18.66 q ha-1), and straw yield were recorded under potassium level K4 (90 kg potassium per ha). The minimum plant height, yield attributes and yields were obtained in control treatment K1 (0 kg potassium per ha). Thus, chickpea variety KWR-108 should be fertilized with 90 kg potassium per ha for harvesting higher yields.
