Author(s): Divya Sahare, GK Shrivastava and Sanjay K Dwivedi
Abstract: A field experiment to study the effect of basal and foliar application of major and micro nutrients on chickpea was conducted during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15 at the Instructional Cum Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.). Results indicated that treatment T9 (T3+ Mo+ B+ DAP) registered significantly higher growth parameters viz. plant height (48.83, 49.20 and 49.02cm), number of primary branches plant-1 (5.57, 6.07 and 5.82), number of secondary branches plant-1 (28.67, 28.96 and 28.82) and dry matter accumulation (19.35, 19.42 and 19.38g); yield attributes like number of pods plant-1 (53.86, 58.64 and 56.25), number of seeds pod-1 (2.20, 2.31 and 2.26), seed weight (9.93, 10.26 and 10.09 g plant-1) and seed yield (1546, 2088 and 1817 kg ha-1) and stover yield (2058, 2421 and 2240 kg ha-1) as compared to others treatments during 2013-14, 2014-15 and on mean basis, respectively. However, it was at par with treatments T7 (T3+ DAP), T8 (T3 + B+ DAP), T15 (T4+ B+ DAP) and T16 (T4+ Mo+ B+ DAP) during 2013-14, 2014-15 and on mean basis.
