Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Residual effect of kharif sorghum on growth and yield parameters of rabi chickpea cropping system” carried out under field condition during 2012 and 2013 with kharif sorghum variety (CSH16) and rabi chickpea variety (JG11) cropping system at ARI Main Farm, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. Experimental site was clay loam in texture, slightly alkaline in reaction, low in organic carbon as well as low available nitrogen, medium in the available phosphorus and high in available potassium. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three main treatments and three sub-treatments, replicated thrice. There are 9 treatments which included application of three different manures as a main treatments viz., Farm Yard Manure (FYM) Vermicompost, (VC) and Neem Seed Cake (NSC) and their combinations with 0%, 50% and 100% RDF as sub plot treatments. Manures were applied as the recommended doses @ 5 t ha-1for FYM and 2.5 t ha-1 for VC and NSC. The data recorded for two years indicated that plant height, leaf area index (LAI), yield components and seed quality of rabi chickpea during both years was significantly increased as influenced by VC, NSC, FYM, 0%, 50%, 100% RDF and their interactions. The highest LAI was recorded at (60 DAS) in both years 2012 and 2013 for organic manures and inorganic nutrients. VC resulted significantly in higher LAI over FYM and NSC and 100% RDF over 0% and 50% RDF at 60 and 90 DAS, while it was not significant at 30 DAS and at harvest.
