Impact of Moisture Conservation Practices, Seed Inoculation and Zinc Level on Growth and Yield of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22. The laid out in split-split plot design with 27 treatment combination comprising three moisture conservation practices viz. flat bed 2.5 t/ha crop residue, narrow furrow t ha-1 residue broad main seed inoculation control, rhizobium PSB sub zinc level kg Zn 5.0 sub-sub plot. Result shows that produced significantly all growth parameters yields attributes as compare to respectively. were recorded higher under over control. application different dose marked significant variation parameter yield when it increased up ha-1. highest receive respectively percent increment 16.33, 24.65, 11.47 7.16 respect biological yield, grain stover harvest index, control pooled data. Seed 5.37, 7.72, 3.84 2.34 Application 6.24, 7.25, 5.56 1.01 Therefore, superior chickpea present investigation.
