Response of nano fertilizers of zinc and ferrous on growth and yield attributes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Abstract

The present field investigation on effects of nutrient management using nano fertilizers on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) was conducted in the rabi season of 2020–2021 at Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani (M.S.), with a view to study the growth and yield attributing traits as influenced by nano fertilizers. Among all the ten treatments of nano fertilizer application, the treatment T8, was found to significantly increase yield (16.34 kg) per plot and yield attributing characters such as number of pods (40) and test weight (26.41 g). However, there was little impact on other characteristics, such as days to 50% flowering and days to maturity.
