A field experiment on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) was carried out under medium black calcareous soil conditions during rabi 2015-16 at the Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. Maximum dry matter accumulation per plant at 45 DAS (2.13 g plant-1), 60 DAS (17.10 g plant-1), 75 DAS (23.93 g plant-1), 90 DAS (32.90 g plant-1) and at harvest (34.05 g plant-1), plant height (42.30 cm), number of root nodules (8.48) at 45 DAS, dry weight of root nodules per plant (102.90 mg plant-1) at 45 DAS, stover yield (2450 kg ha-1), biological yield (3944 kg ha-1), protein yield (313.61 kg ha-1), uptake of N and K by seed, phosphorus and sulphur content and uptake by stover, total uptake of N, P, S by crop, available sulphur status (13.11 ppm), gross return ( 62580 ha-1) and net return ( 36300 ha-1) were recorded with the application of 60 kg P2O5 ha-1, which was significantly higher over control and 20 kg P2O5 ha-1. But maximum branches per plant (6.02), number of pods per plant (64.62), seed index (21.20 g), seed yield (1507 kg ha-1), phosphorus and sulphur content and uptake in grain, total phosphorus uptake by crop, available phosphorus status (43.53 kg P2O5 ha-1) were recorded with the application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1, which was significantly higher over control and 20 kg P2O5 ha-1. Furthermore application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 recorded highest B: C ratio of 2.40 which was higher by 11.62 per cent over control.
