Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted during rabi season of
2010-11 in the net house of Micronutrient Project (ICAR), Anand
Agricultural University, Anand to carry out the study on “Iron
Kinetics and Its Uptake Efficiency of chickpea cultivars Grown on
Fe-deficient soil”. For the experiment, four different chickpea
varieties were selected which was two Fe-Efficient (GG-1 and GAG-
735) and two Fe-Inefficient (ICCC-4 and GJG-305) groups. The Fe
application was made at three levels (Fe0, Fe20 and Fe40 mg kg-1)
through ferrous sulphate (19 % Fe) with standard NPK fertilization.
The cultivars were grown in pots (8 and 15 kg capacity) upto three
stages viz. 20, 40 days after germination (DAG) and maturity. The
experiment was laid out in a Factorial Completely Randomized
Design (FCRD) and treatments were replicated thrice for all three
