Abstract:
The experiment Effect of Integrated Nutrient management on Growth, yield and quality of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Central zone of UP was conducted on radish crop at Agriculture Research Farm of Rama University, Mandhana, Kanpur, U.P, India, during Rabi season of 2022. There was 8 treatments viz., T₁ (Control), T₂ (RDF 100%), T₃ (RDF 100% + FYM 10 t/ha), T₄ (RDF 100% + FYM 5 t/ha + PSB), T₅ (RDF 100% + FYM 5 t/ha + PSB + Rhizobium), T6 (RDF 50% + FYM 10 t/ha), T7 (RDF 50% + FYM 5 t/ha + PSB) and T8 (RDF 50% + FYM 5 t/ha + PSB +Rhizobium). All the 8 treatments were replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. The treatment combination consists of FYM, doses of fertilizers (50 and 100%) and Rhizobium. The treatment T₅ (RDF 100% + FYM 5 t/ha + PSB + Rhizobium) found best in parameters viz., plant height(cm), number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, dry matter accumulation (g plant-1), days to 50% flowering, number of pods per plant, number of seed per pod, pod length (cm), seed index (g), protein content in seed (%), seed yield (q) and straw yield (q).
