Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during the rabi season of the year 2008–2009 to find out the studies on growth and yield of Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under different plant densities and fertility levels. Genotype ‘Phule G 95333’ recorded higher growth and yield attributes, grain and straw yield than genotype ‘Phule G 0515’. 33 plants/m2 showed that significantly higher grain and straw yield, whereas number of pods/plant and grain yield/plant were higher with 22 plants/m2. As regards the effect of higher fertility level 30 kg N + 60 kg P2O5 + 30 kg K2O + 20 kg S/ha produced significantly higher values of growth and yield attributes, grain and straw yield compared to lower fertility level 20 kg N + 40 kg P2O5 + 20 kg K2O + 20 kg S/ha
