Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi, 2018-19 at Agricultural Research Farm of faculty of Agricultural Science and Allied industries Rama University, Mandhana, Kanpur (U.P.). The treatment comprised 8 integrated nutrient management practices viz., T1- Control, T2- Formers Practices (50 kg DAP/ha), T3- RDF (20:60:20), T4- FYM @ 10 t/ha, T5- Vermicompost @ 5 t/ha, T6- 75% RDF + FYM @ 2.5 t/ha+ Vermicompost @1.0 t/ha, T7- 50% RDF + FYM @ 5 t/ha+ vermicompost @ 2.5 t/ha and T8- 25% RDF + FYM @ 10t/ha + vermicompost @ 5 t/ha were tried in RBD (Randomized Block Design) with three replications. The results showed that the application of 75% RDF + FYM @ 2.5 t/ha + vermicompost @ 1.0 t/ha integrated nutrient management practices was recorded highest growth attributes viz., plant height, number of primary and secondary branches, dry matter production as well as yield attributes viz., number pod/plant (g), No. of seed/plant and test weight as compared to control plot. Variety KGD-1168 performed better and high yielded 30.67 q/ha, grain yield Rs. 1,00,506/ha net return against 11.92 q/ha grain Yield," Rs 19,307/ha net return with the application of 75% RDF + FYM @ 2.5 T/ha+ Vermicompost@1.0 t/ha. Over all on the basis of experimentation in applied of 75% RDF + FYM @ 2.5 t/ha + vermicompost @ 1.0 t/ha was higher received net return due to reason of higher production and productivity of chickpea with KGD- 1168 variety in central plain zone of Uttar Pradesh.
