Effect of Phosphorous, Chloropyriphos and Rhizobium Inoculation on Production and Economics of Chickpea (Cicer aretinum L.)

Abstract

Field experiments were conducted to Studies effect of Phosphorus, Chloropyriphos and Rhizobium inoculants on productivity parameter and economics of chickpea during rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at students instructional farm, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur. The experiment consists of 18 treatments combinations in factorial randomized block design with three replications consisted of three levels of phosphorous (30, 60 and 90 kg ha-1), three chloropyriphos levels (0, 2.5 and 4.0 ml L-1) and two rhizobium inoculation levels (with rhizobium and without rhizobium). Chickpea variety RVG-203 was grown with the recommended agronomic practices. On the basis of results emanated from investigation it can be concluded that among the productivity parameters viz. maximum grain yield was 19.76 and 19.88 q ha-1 during the both years of experimentation are associated with the treatment T15 [60 kg P+ 4.0 ml-1 Chloropyriphos with Rhizobium]. Similarly stover yield during first year is 25.26 q ha-1 and second year is 25.94 q ha-1 was associated with the treatment T15 [60 kg P+ 4.0 ml-1 Chloropyriphos with Rhizobium]. Maximum gross return Rs 103908 and Rs 110078, net return Rs 66686 and 72232 and benefit cost ratio (B:C ratio) 1.79 and 1.91 during the first year (2020-21) and second year (2021-22) of experimentation were recorded under treatment T15 [60 kg P+ 4.0 ml-1 Chloropyriphos with Rhizobium], but the maximum cost of cultivation during first year is Rs 38734 and second year is Rs 39358 were recorded under treatment T18 [90 kg P+ 4.0 ml-1 Chloropyriphos with Rhizobium].

Effect of Phosphorous and Potassium on Growth Parameters, Yield and Yield Attributes of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under the Rainfed Condition in Chitrakoot, India

“…The mean seed index at K 30 , K 40 and K 50 were 20.88, 21.44 and 21.77 gm respectively at harvest stage. These results also confirms the findings of Kumar et al [8], Sahare et al [34] and Sachan et al [35].…”

“…The mean seed yield (q ha -1 ) at K 30 , K 40 and K 50 were 14.02, 14.56 and 15.13 q ha -1 respectively at harvest stage. The results of the present investigation are also in agreement with the findings of Tripathy et al [36], Pal et al [37], Singh et al [38] and Sachan et al [39].…”

Interaction Effect of Phosphorous and Zinc on Yield Attributes, Yield and Quality Characteristics of Chickpea under the Central Plain Zone of Uttar Pradesh

“…Minimum number of pods plant -1 (45.00), number of grain pod -1 (1.20) and 100 grain weight (16.96 gm) was associated with the treatment T 1 [Control]. The results of the present investigation are also in agreement with the findings of Yadav et al [21], Singh et al [22], Kumar et al [23], Yadav et al [24] and Sachan et al [25].…”

Substitution of Nitrogen and Phosphorous by Bio-Inoculants and Their Effect on Growth Parameters, Yield Attributes and Yield of Barley

“…As per the experimental recommended doses of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium were applied to all the plots. Recommended dose of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium were applied through Urea, DAP and MOP (80:50:50 kg ha -1 )" [14].…”
