A field experiment was undertaken during rabi season, 2017-18 on “Population Compatibility and Nutrient Management Strategies in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) + Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) Intercropping System” at “Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology”, Meerut (U.P). Twenty treatments comprising combination of 04 intercropping treatments viz., Chickpea + mustard in 3:1 and 4:1 row ratio and both in additive and replacement series and 05 nutrient management practices viz., recommended dose (RD) to chickpea and mustard both (N1), N1 + biofertilizers (N2), N2 +FYM (N3), N1 but mustard with 150% RD (N4) and N4 with biofertilizers (N5) along with sole stand of component crops tested in RBD with 3 replications. Recommended doses were 100 kg DAP +20kg S ha-1 for chickpea and 120 kg N +40 kg P2O5+20 kg S for mustard. Chickpea seeds were inoculated with Rhizobium and mustard with Azotobacter along with soil application PSB. The results revealed that the performance of chickpea was better in sole crop than in intercropping systems. The yield attributes viz., number of pods plant-1 (49.2) & number of seeds pod-1 (3.2), grain yield (21.0 qha-1), protein content (21.3%), nitrogen (117.0), phosphorous (16.8) & potassium uptake (80.7) were maximum in sole crop of chickpea. Also, nutrient management options exhibited significant effect on performance of both crops giving best results in chickpea with the addition of FYM + RDF to chickpea& mustard along with chickpea inoculation with Rhizobium & mustard inoculation with Azotobacter + soil application of Phosphorous solubilising bacteria.
