Abstract

The maximum seed and stover yield (18.9 and 29.6 q/ha) was noticed under 60 kg P2O5/ha as compared to control plot.
Also similar result was noticed under inoculation of VAM as compared to untreated plot. Maximum NPK uptake by seed (63.8, 7.49 and 26.5 kg/ha) and stover (44.5, 5.31 and 81.6 kg/ha) was recorded under 60 kg P2O5/ha as compared to control plot. Highest uptake of NPK in seed (60.2, 6.75 and 25.6 kg/ha) and stover (42.1, 5.20 and 79.3 kg/ha) was recorded under inoculation of VAM compared to control plot. Maximum protein content was noticed under 60 kg P2O5/ha but lowest was found under control plot. Inoculation of VAM was resulted maximum protein content in seed. Maximum gross returns (81.6 × 103 ₹/ha), net returns (53.7 × 103 ₹/ ha) and B: C ratio (1.94) was recorded under 60 kg P2O5/ ha as compared to control treatment. Inoculation of VAM was registerd highest gross returns (81.6 × 103 ₹/ha), net returns (53.7 × 103 ₹/ha) and B: C ratio (1.94) compared to control plot. Application of 60 kg P2O5/ha and inoculation of seeds with VAM may be recommended for the farmers of Eastern Uttar Pradesh for profitable cultivation of chickpea crop under saline condition.
