Abstract
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the important pulse crops in rainfed areas of Andhra Pradesh, India. The crop requires higher levels of nitrogen and phosphorus and is often susceptible to deficiencies of iron, sulphur and zinc. A field experiment was conducted at Seed Research and Technology Centre, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad (A.P.), India to study the effect of macro and micronutrients on yield and seedling quality parameters of chickpea variety JG-11. Foliar applications of DAP (2%), Urea (2%), Zn (0.5%), FeSO4 (0.5%), KCl (1%) and KNO3 (1%) were done twice at pre-flowering and flowering stage. DAP (2%) and Urea (2%) sprays recorded maximum number of branches per plant which suggests that overall biomass could be increased by these sprays. Zn (0.5%) enhanced the number of pods/plant and led to maximum seed yield/plant compared to all other treatments. Application of zinc enhanced the root growth, nodulation and nitrogen content of nodules indirectly contributing to the increased yield. KCl (1%) sprays had a positive effect on root and shoot growth recording maximum seedling root length, shoot length, fresh weight, dry weight and vigour index. Regression studies between number of pods/ plant and seed yield/plant showed that unit increase in number of pods/plant resulted in an increase of 1.83g of seed yield/ plant.
