Abstract

An experiment to study the effect of phosphorus and sulfur on yield, quality and nutrient content and uptake by chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) was conducted during rabi season of 2011-2012 with four levels of phosphorus (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5/ha) and sulfur (0, 15, 30 and 45 kg S/ha). The results indicated that application of increasing levels of phosphorus and sulfur increased the yield, protein content, nutrient content and nutrient uptake of chickpea. But increase in grain yield, protein content, nutrient content and uptake were found to be significantly up to 40 kg P2O5/ha and 30 kg S/ha.
