Impact of Nitrogen and Iron on Growth and Yield Attributes of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Abstract

Background: Chickpea is leguminous crop, which offers a good nutrition to people across the world. Chickpea ranks second after soybean as the common leguminous crop that people grow and consume across the world. Therefore, its study is significant because chickpea has nutritional and economic importance in the world. Objectives: Effect of Nitrogen and Iron on growth and yield of Chickpea. Methods: With the goal of studying the effect of Nitrogen and Iron on growth and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) var RVG-202 under a Randomized block design with 9 treatments which are replicated thrice. The experimental results revealed that of 25 kg/ha Nitrogen +7.5kg /ha Iron recorded maximum plant height (48.8 cm), number of nodules per plant (23.0), plant dry weight (55.7g/plant), number of pods per plant (61.2), number of seeds per pod (3.5), Seed yield (1919.1 kg/ha), Haulm Yield (3186.6 kg/ha). Conclusion: 25 kg/ha Nitrogen and 7.5kg /ha Iron determined to be the most beneficial to farmers, resulting in plant height (48.8 cm), dry weight (55.7g/plant), nodules per plant (23.0), number of pods per plant (61.2), number of seeds per pod (3.5), seed yield (1919.1kg/ha) and Haulm yield (3186.6 kg/ha).
