Abstract

In the present investigation, the effect of phosphorus (P) levels and biofertilizers on nutrient uptake, quality and yield of chickpea was studied over two years during Rabi 2021–22 and 2022–23. The study revealed significantly higher uptake of N, P and potassium (K) by seed and stover, higher protein content, grain, and stover yield on the application of 50 kg ha-1 P. Similarly application of 50 kg ha-1 P along with bio-fertilizers (PSB + Rhizobium) also showed higher N, P and K uptake by seed and stover, higher protein content and protein yield, grain and stover yield and this combination was identified the most promising treatment for enhancing chickpea yield.
