Abstract:
The investigation was conducted during rabi and summer seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19 at college farm of N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari to study Effect on seed yield and quality characteristics of chickpea as influenced by integrated nutrient management in chickpea- fodder maize cropping sequence. The field experiment consisted of integrated nutrient management viz., T₁ - 100% RDF, T₂ - 75% RDF, T₃ - 100% RDF + Rhizobium + PSB, T₄ - 75% RDF + Rhizobium + PSB, T₅ - control to chickpea in rabi season replicated four times in randomized block design. Treatment 100% RDF + Rhizobium + PSB (T₃) recorded all most significantly higher seed yield, nutrient content, uptake and protein content as well as protein yield being remained at par with application of 100% RDF (T₁) and 75% RDF + Rhizobium + PSB (T₄) during both the years and in pooled analysis.
