Abstract

Field experiments were conducted on Zn d efficient sandy loam soll (Typic Ustochrept) to assess the effect of Zn application (0,2.2 and 4.4 kg ha¹) in three varieties (K-850, K-468 and T-3) of chickpea on yield, content and uptake of An and contents of P, Fe, Cu and Mn In grain and straw. Application of Zn significantly Increased the yield and content and uptake of Zn. Contents of P, Fe and Cu were decreased but Mn remained unaffected by added Zn. Varieties showed Variation in respect of yield potential, An content and uptake and content of other nutrients. Interaction of varieties and levels of An was non-significant on yield.

Keywords: Chickpea, Zine nutrition.
