A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research station, Ummedganj, Kota, during rabi season in 2021-22 to study the effect of fertility levels and foliar nutrition on growth, yield attributes and yields of chickpea, which was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications and comprised four fertility levels (control, 75% RDF, 100% RDF, and 125% RDF) and four foliar nutrition (control, NPK 19:19:19 @0.5%, NPK 17:44:00 @0.5% and NPK 00:52:34@ 0.5% at flower initiation and pod development stage). All the treatments were applied to the chickpea variety GNG-1958. The results reveals that among the various fertility levels, application of 125% RDF significantly increased the growth and yield parameters viz. plant height (cm), number of branches/plant, dry matter accumulation, number of root nodules, dry weight of root nodules, pods/plant, seed yield, straw yield and quality parameters viz. protein content and protein yield over 75% RDF and control but it was found statistically at par with 100% RDF. Similarly, among the foliar nutrition, NPK (19:19:19)@ 0.5% at flower initiation and pod development stage significantly increased the growth, yield and quality parameters viz. plant height (cm), number of branches/plant, dry matter accumulation, pods/plant, seed yield, straw yield, protein content and protein yield closely followed by NPK(17:44:00)over NPK(00:52:34) and control.
