Evaluate the Effect of Zinc and Iron on Growth, Yield and Quality of Chickpea

The research was lead at the Soil Science Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, U.P. during the Rabi season in 2020-21 and 2021-22. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with sixteen treatments and three replications with four levels of zinc and iron respectively with NPK as an RDF. All plant parameters i. e. plant height, number of branches plant-1, number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, test weight, protein, grain yield and stover yield were found to be significant at C.D @ 5% and best in treatment T16 (RDF @ 100% + Zinc @ 20 kg ha-1 + Iron @ 7.5 kg ha-1) as compare with in treatment T1 [Absolute control (RDF @ 0% + Zinc @ 0 kg ha-1 + Iron @ 0 kg ha-1)].
