Abstract

Chickpea, a second most important leguminous food grain cultivated mainly as the rainfed crop in Telangana state. Among other pulses, chickpea is the major source of dietary protein in Indians diet. In the continuation of Effect of Organic Manures and Plant Extracts on Pest Incidence, Growth and Yield of Chickpea, Cicer arietinum L, we explored the Nutritional levels in chickpea in different conditions. The highest plant height 60.493 cm was observed in T1-Vermicompost (10 t/ha) + NSKE (5%) followed by T6 - Poultry manure (5 t/ha) + chilli garlic extract (100 gm/lit) with 57.963 which was on par with T2 -Vermicompost (10 t/ha) + chilli garlic extract (100 gm/lit), T3 -Vermicompost (10 t/ha) + tobacco leaf decoction (5% W/v), T4 -Vermicompost (10 t/ha) + pongamia seed extract (5% W/v), T5 - Poultry manure (5 t/ha) + NSKE (5%). The more branches per plant 7.567 no. was recorded in T1 which was on par with T8 - Poultry manure (5 t/ha) + pongamia seed extract (5% W/v) with 7.620 no. followed by T5 - Poultry manure (5 t/ha) + NSKE (5%).T1-Vermicompost (10 t/ha) + NSKE (5%)recorded highest i.e. 69.94 no. of pods per plant with 1569.45 kg/ha grain yield and it was significantly different from other treatments followed by T5 - Poultry manure (5 t/ha) + NSKE (5%).The T1 has greater values of protein (20.47 g), fat (6.04 g), carbohydrate (62.95 g), fiber (12.2 g), sugar (10.78 g), Ca (57.56 mg) and Fe (4.37 mg) and next highest nutritional values recorded T5- Poultry manure (5 t/ha) + NSKE (5%). Highest Benefit cost ratio was recorded in T1 and it was significantly superior over all the treatments.
