Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Derol, Gujarat, India during, Rabi- 2018-19to study the effect of krishisol on growth, yield and quality of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Application of krishisol along with fertilizer, as well as spray of krishisol with various doses to improve the yield and yield attributing characters of chickpea crop. The number of pods per plant recorded significantly highest (70.9 pods/plant) in T3 (RDF + Krishisol@1250 mlha-1) and remained at par with treatment T2 (RDF) (66.3 pods/plant). Treatment T3 (RDF + Krishisol@1250 mlha-1) recorded significantly the highest seed yield (2804 kg/ha) and haulm yield (2268 kg/ha) of chickpea. As far as soil fertility status is concerned, the highest K2O content in soil was recorded under the treatment T3 (RDF + Krishisol@1250 mlha-1). Whereas, highest silicon content in soil was recorded under the treatment T6 (Only Krishisol@1250 mlha-1).
