A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2016-17 at Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya, Chitrakoot, Satna (M.P.) to evaluate the effect of foliar nutrition on productivity and profitability of chickpea. Foliar application of salicylic acid 75 ppm at flower initiation and 7 days after first spray produced significantly maximum primary branches (7.2), secondary branches (14.7), tertiary branches (8.9/plant), and seeds/plant (66.20), and seed weight/plant (11.64 g). Seed and straw yield was recorded significantly superior in application of salicylic acid 75 ppm at flower initiation and 7 day after first spray (2514 kg/ha ; 3318 kg/ha) followed by TNAU pulse wonder 5 kg/ha at flower initiation (2361 kg/ha ; 3274 kg/ha). The highest gross returns of 159139/ha and net returns of 128835/ha and benefit cost ratio of 5.25 were achieved under two spray of salicylic acid 75 ppm at flower initiation and 7 days after first spray. The lowest value of yield attributes, yield and economics were recorded under control plot (water spray).
