Abstract:
Rabi 2012-13 to evaluate the Soil nutrient status of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) as influenced by potassium and zinc application in Vertisol. The field experiment was conducted at the Departmental Research Farm of Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani, was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. There were eight treatments comprising of K levels and zinc viz ; T1- Absolute control, T2- Only RDF through soil (25:50:0 NPK kg ha-1).T3 –RDF + 15 kg K2O ha-1,T4- RDF + 30 kg K2O ha-1, T5- RDF+45 kg K2O ha-1, T6- RDF+15 kg K2O ha-1+25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1, T7- RDF + 30 kg K2O ha-1 + 25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1, T8- RDF + 45 kg K2O ha-1 + 25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1.The results indicated that application of RDF+15or30 kg K2O ha-1+25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1. Available N and P status at various growth stages of chickpea found to be increased up to pod development stage and thereafter N and P available status was decreased. While, potassium availability was decreased from flowering to harvesting stage, where as sulfur availability was increased till harvesting. In respect of micronutrients, no specific trend was noted. However, the application of zinc to chickpea maintained the higher Zn availability throughout the crop growth.
