Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Effect of secondary and micronutrient on the performance of chickpea (cicer arietinum L.) under rice based cropping system in vertisol” was carried out at the instructional farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) during rabi season of 2006-07. The soil of the experimental field was clayey in texture (Vertisol) locally knows as “Kanhar” The soil was neutral in pH and had low nitrogen and phosphorus and medium potassium. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replication. The treatments consisted different nutrient management viz. control (T1), MgSO4 @ 25 kg ha -1 (T2) ,100%RDF (T3),100% RDF +MgSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 (T4), 100% RDF + MgO @ 5 kg ha-1(T5), 100% RDF + S @ 6.7 kg ha-1 (T6), 100% RDF +ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 (T7), 100% RDF+ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 +MgSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 (T8), 100% RDF +S @ 20 kg ha-1 (T9), 75% RDF +MgSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 (T10),75% RDF+ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 (T11), 75% RDF+ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1+ MgSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 (T12 ). Chickpea Variety “JG-74” with a seed rate of 100 kg ha-1 was sown on November 18, 2006 with row spacing of 30 cm. Harvesting was done on March 15, 2007.
Results revealed that the highest seed and stover yield as well as nutrient uptake was recorded under 100 % RDF + Zn SO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 + MgSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1. Growth and yield attributing characters (plant height, dry matter accumulation, nodules number and their fresh and dry weigh) almost followed the trend of seed yield. Dependence of seed yield on various growth and yield parameter as well as interdependence among growth and yield parameter were positively and significantly increased and also improved the fertility status and physico-chemical properties of soil.
