Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during winter seasons of 2009-10 and 2010-11 to study the effect of foliar and basal nourishment on the yield and economics of chickpea. Amongst the foliar spray nutrients, DAP (2%) and N20P50K20S20 as basal, when applied separately or in combination, resulted in highest growth parameters, chlorophyll content, grain yield, grain protein and net income from the rainfed chickpea cv. JG 315. Thus, the combined input of DAP (2%) x N20P50K20S20 gave maximum grain yield of 17.23 q/ha, grain protein 23.13% and net income up to Rs. 51,201/ha. The net income was higher by Rs. 32457/ha over the absolute control
