Abstract:
The present investigation in relation to “Preparation of nutrient enriched compost and its effect on growth, nutrient dynamics, yield and yield attributes in chickpea.” The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2022-2023 at Research Farm, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural chemistry, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani. Application of 75% RDF (N: P₂O₅: K₂O) + @ 50% Nutrient Enriched Compost showed highest value of N, P, K, S, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu uptake in seed, straw and total uptake followed by 75% RDF (N: P₂O₅: K₂O) + @ 25% Nutrient Enriched Compost. Whereas lowest value was recorded in absolute control. The maximum nutrient use efficiency was recorded with application of 75% RDF (N: P₂O₅: K₂O) + @ 50% Nutrient Enriched Compost followed by application of 75% RDF (N: P₂O₅: K₂O) + @ 50% Nutrient Enriched Compost. Whereas lowest value was recorded in absolute control.
