Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted during rabi 2020 at Central Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Science, Prayagraj (U.P.). To study the Effect of potassium and sulphur levels on yield attributes and economics of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice. The treatment consists of of 3 levels of potassium viz. K₁ (20 kg/ha), K₂ (25 kg/ha), K₃ (30 kg/ha) and 3 levels of Sulphur viz. S₁ (10 kg/ha), S₂ (15 kg/ha) and S₃ (20 kg/ha) as basal application. The results revealed that yield parameters viz. test weight (27.41 g), seed yield (31.16 q/ha), haulm yield (36.33 q/ha), harvest index (46.17%) were recorded superior with the application of 25 kg/ha Potassium + 20 kg/ha Sulphur. The highest gross returns (128300 INR/ha), net returns (95950 INR/ha) and B:C ratio (2.96) were recorded with the treatment 25 kg/ha Potassium + 20 kg/ha Sulphur.
