Effect of Soybean Crop Residue Incorporation, Biofertilizers on Nutrient Uptake, Yield of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

The investigation was laid out on clay loam soil at Agricultural Research Station, Adilabad during rabi, 2020 with the aim to understand the chickpea crop performance with residue incorporation and use of biofertilizers along with varied NP recommended doses (0,50,75 and 100%). Results, revealed that, i.e., application of fertilizers i.e., 20:50:20 kg ha-1 N: P2O5:K2O recorded significantly higher grain yield (2558 kg ha-1) and stover yield (3255 kg ha-1) among all the treatments. Significantly superior nitrogen content (3.49 %), P content (0.53%), K content (1.62 %) and S content (0.34 %) by grain were observed with full dose of NPK application. Nutrient uptake of N (104.47 kg ha-1), P (15.29 kg ha-1), K (47.95 kg ha-1) and S (10.13 kg ha-1) by grain at harvest.
