Effect of Bio-Organics and Chemical Fertilizers on Growth and Yield of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Under Middle Gujarat Conditions

A field experiment was carried to study the performance of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) as influenced by FYM, Biofertilizers castor cake and levels of nitrogen and phosphorus during 2008-09. Chickpea plants exhibited significant responses to various bio-organics with respect to growth, yield and yield attributes. Application of FYM + castor cake and FYM + Rhizobium + Azotobacter + PSB gave the maximum values. Application of 100% RDF gave significantly the highest values for all the growth and yield attributes. Treatment combination B3F3 was at par with B4F3 produced significantly higher number of pods plant-1. Significantly maximum grain yield was recorded under B4F3 which failed to statistically superior over B4F1, B4F2, B4F0 and B3F3. .
