Abstract: Proper nutrition of crop plants is most important for getting good yields and quality of food products. In this contests a field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Faizabad (U.P.) during rabi season of two consecutive years of 2014-15 and 2015-16 to assess the effect of phosphorus, sulphur and biofertilizers on nutrient content and uptake of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) The experiment was layout in SPD having twenty-four treatment combinations consisted of three phosphorus levels (0, 30, 60 kg P2O5 ha-1), two sulphur levels (0, 20 kg ha-1) and four seed inoculation with biofertilizers (un-inoculated, PSB, Rhizobium and PSB + Rhizobium). The application of phosphorus at 60 kg ha-1, sulphur at 20 kg ha-1 and seed inoculation with PSB + Rhizobium significantly increased the nutrient content, uptake and yields (grain & straw yield) of chickpea over the control /un-inoculated. So, inoculation of biofertilizers with optimum level of fertilizers could able to improve the performance of crop.
