Impact of nutrient management technologies in chickpea under irrigated condition of Chandauli district, Uttar Pradesh

Abstract

The present study was conducted a farmer field Sri. Chander Shekhar, Kharwar in Hadai village of Naugarh block in Chandauli district during the year 2014-15, to study the Impact of nutrient management technologies in chickpea. An experiment on impact of different approaches of nutrient management in chickpea was conducted in participatory mode on mixed red to shallow black soils under irrigated condition of Chandauli district, Uttar Pradesh. The target yield of chickpea 12 q ha-1 achieved with application of N:P:K as 19:16:13 along with 5 t ha-1 farm yard manure (FYM) and target yield of 16 q ha-1 is achieved with application of N:P:K as 40:29:26 along with 5 t ha-1 farm yard manure (FYM). Under farmers condition of chickpea cultivation B:C ratio is 0.95, under general recommendation of agricultural department of the district on the basis of soil test value condition of chickpea cultivation B:C ratio is 1.39, and under STCR for 16 q ha-1 in chickpea variety test crop condition is B:C ratio is 2.98. The nutrient content by crop and soil nutrients status was higher after harvest of chickpea cultivation when NPK were applied with FYM. It was inferred from the study that the STCR technology may be the appropriate approach for optimum nutrient supply which improves the soil properties especially the soil health and productivity in a long run in comparison to other nutrient management technologies.
