Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Students’ Instructional Farm, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh to study the effect of organic, inorganic and biofertilizers on nutrients content, and uptake of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) during Rabi season for two consecutive years (2018-19 and 2019-20). The experiment comprised of 14 treatment T₁(Control), T₂ (100% RDF), T₃ (75% RDF), T₄ (50% RDF), T₅ (100% RDF+ FYM @ 5 t ha^-1), T₆ (100% RDF + VC @ 3 t ha^-1), T₇ (100% RDF + Rhizobium + PSB), T₈ (75% RDF+ FYM @ 5 t ha^-1), T₉ (75% RDF + VC @ 3 t ha^-1), T₁₀ (75% RDF + Rhizobium + PSB), T₁₁ (50% RDF +FYM @ 5 t ha^-1), T₁₂ (50% RDF+VC @ 3t ha^-1), T₁₃ (50% RDF + Rhizobium +PSB), T₁₄ (FYM @ 5 t ha^-1+ VC @ 3 tha^-1+ Rhizobium +PSB) in randomized block design with three replications. Chickpea variety KGD-1168 was grown with the recommended agronomic practices. Results showed that among the different treatments combination, application of 100% RDF with Rhizobium and PSB significantly recorded maximum nutrients content and uptake in grain and stover of chickpea crop.
