Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at the Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), Prayagraj (UP) during the year 2021 rabi season. The experiment comprised of 8 treatments with different combinations of phosphorus, zinc and varieties (Pusa-362, Rvg-202) replicated thrice in a Randomized Block Design. The main objective of the experiment was to evaluate the Effect of phosphorus and zinc on growth and yield attributes in varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The phosphorus levels include [40 and 50 kg/ha] where-as levels of zinc include (3 and 4 kg/ha) and varieties sown are pusa-362 and Rvg-202. From the present investigation the profitable production of chickpea can be secured by pusa-362 variety with application of phosphorus (50 kg/ha) and zinc (4 kg/ha).
