Effect of organic manures and different varieties on growth and yield of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.,)

The experiment was conducted during the period from December to March, 2020-21 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj to study the effect of organic manures and different varieties on growth and yield of chickpea. The treatment consists of three organic manures (Farmyard manure-5t/ha, Vermicompost-2t/ha and Poultry manure-2t/ha) and three different chickpea varieties (GNG-2144,GNG-1958and Radhey). The experiment was conducted by following a randomized block design with nine treatments and were replicated thrice. The results revealed that significantly higher plant height(52.25cm), plant dry weight(19.65 g/plant), pods(40.53/plant),seed index(27.37g), seed yield(2.70 t/ha) and stover yield(4.63t/ha) were recorded in a treatment combination with the application of Vermicompost 2t/ ha +Radhey Variety.
