Abstract

A field experiment was carried out to study the response of chickpea to foliar application of nitrogenous fertilizres under rainfed conditions. The highest pods per plant (45.3) were recorded in 2% urea spray at 75 DAS which was 23.7 and 21.3% higher than control and water spray respectively. The 100 seed weight of chickpea was significantly increased with 2% urea spray at 75 DAS (16.9) being at par with other treatments except control. The highest seed yield of 2437 kg/ha was recorded with 2% urea spray at 75 DAS followed by 2% DAP spray at 75 DAS (2389 kg/ha). Highest SPAD chlorophyll meter reading (SCMR) (69.6) was recorded in urea spray at 75 DAS followed by DAP at 75 DAS (67.5).
