The Response of Micronutrients on Crop Growth Indices, Chlorophyll Content, Relative Water Content and Yield of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Varieties

Chickpeas are prized legume crops that frequently eaten in developing countries. Hence, a field experiment was conducted to study the Impact of Foliar Applied Zinc, Boron and Iron on plant Growth, Chlorophyll content, Yield attributes Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Varieties during Rabi season 2018-19 2019-20. The laid out Split Plot Design assigning three varieties main plots (KGD-1168, Radhey KWR-108) seven micronutrients combined subplots. results revealed variety showed significantly higher growth indices yield viz., dry weight (21.06, 21.56g at maturity), crop rate (0.230, 0.236 g plant-1 day-1 75-100DAS), relative (0.177, 0.177 g-1 75-100DAS) net assimilation (0.0303, 0.0335 100 chlorophyll water seed (2118, 2228 kg ha-1) chickpea both years, respectively. Among various micronutrients, foliar application Zinc @ 0.5% + 0.2 % 0.1 exerted (21.26, 21.74g (0.212, 0.224g (0.207, 0.195 (0.0305, 0.0342 (2162, 2276 years 2019-20, interaction effect found be non-significant. On basis observed results, instructed grow with applications 0.2% 0.1% for yield.
