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. The results indicated that growth parameters like plant height, number of branches, number of pods, seed and straw yield &The nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, Sulphur and DTPA extractable micronutrient (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu) availability found to be maximum at harvesting stage of chickpea with the application of 75% RDF (N: P₂O₅: K₂O) + @ 50% Nutrient Enriched Compost followed by 75% RDF (N: P₂O₅: K₂O) + @ 25% Nutrient Enriched Compost. Whereas lowest value was recorded in absolute control.
