Abstract
Effect of starter nitrogen on yield and yield components of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) at Dokri, Larkana
Highlights
Being a an important food legume crop grown in multipurpose crop; it is used as food, feed rabi season
Origin minerals and vitamins, serve as of chickpea is controversial, it is integral component of diet, especially for thought to be originated from western Asia, poor [1, 2]
In addition to South Asian periods on receding soil moisture, subcontinent it is grown in West Asia, it is sensitive to alkalinity, salinity and water
Summary
Average yield can be increased through integrated soil and crop management practices. Inadequate biological N fixation in poor soil conditions can potentially reduce yield in chickpea and other legume crops [25]. Reservoirs of N in seed and soil can sufficiently provide N requirements till seedling stage of chickpea, whereas biological N fixation can supplement N for the subsequent plant growth. Limited biological N fixation and deficiency of N in soil can induce N deficiency in legume plants, which happened after expiry of seed N and before the effective nodule formation [28]. Number performed to determine growth and yield of branches per plant, pods per plant and seeds chickpea crop to varying levels of starter N per pod were recorded by counting fertilizer under agro-climatic conditions of branches, pods and seeds of each plant.
