A field experiment was conducted to see the effect of phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) on protein content in grain and chlorophyll content in leaf of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Four levels of P with four levels of Fe were applied. Increasing P levels increased protein content in grain upto 23.99% in 40 kg P2O5 ha⁻¹ over control (19.09%). But in chl...

India is a highly populated country under the category of developing nations. The protein requirement of most of the people is fulfilling through pulses. Production of pulse crops and their yield stagnation last so many years. It has been estimated that India's population would reach 1.68 billion by 2030 from the present level of 1.21 billion. Acco...

Effect of phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) on growth and yield attributes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) was studied during rabi season of 2010-2011 with four levels of P (control, 20,40 and 60 kg P2O5 ha(-1)) and Fe (control, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 kg Fe ha(-1)). Increasing P and Fe levels, increased the plant height, branch plant(-1), pods plant(-1), seed...

The role of micronutrients In crops is well known in the present context. Research already proved the micronutrient deficiency in various crops as well as in the human beings and which results as drastic reduction in crop yield. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important grain legume crop in the World, and being a rich and cheap source of protei...

Micronutrients play a vital role in crop production and sustainable crop yield. High crop yield varieties make soil micronutrients deficient, without incorporating external inputs. Due to deficiency of micronutrients such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), yield decline drastically. It limits more than macronutrients, but requirements of these plant nutri...
