ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted at Coastal Soil Salinity Research Station, NAU, Danti, during rabi seasons of 2014-15 and 2015-16 with the objective of find out the effect of land configuration and bio-organic on nutrient uptake and quality of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under coastal salt affected soil. The results of the study revealed that sowing of chickpea on ridge and furrow significantly increased nutrients i.e., N, P and K uptake by chickpea crop over flat bed sowing (L1), but it was statistically at par with raised bed sowing (L2) while, protein content in grain did not influence significantly due to land configuration treatments.Moreover,significantly the highest protein content in grain, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake by chickpea crop were recorded under application of vermicompost @ 2 t/ha + bio-fertilizer (Rhizobium + PSB) (B4). The interaction effect of L x B failed to influence protein content in grain and uptake of nitrogen and potassium by chickpea, however, P uptake by crop was significantly higher under treatment combination L3B4 as compared to all other treatment combinations except, L3B3 during 2014-15 and in pooled results.
Key words: Bio-organic, Chickpea, Land configuration, Nutrient uptake, Quality
