Effect of phosphorus and zinc on nutrient content and uptake in chickpea (Cicer aeritinum L.)

A field experiment was conducted at Research farm, Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur (Rajasthan) during Rabi season¸ 2023 on loamy sand soil. The experiment comprises four levels of phosphorous (Control, 20, 40 and 60 kg ha^-1) and three treatments of zinc application (2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 kg ha^-1) thereby making 12 treatment combinations was laid out in factorial randomized block design and replicated thrice. Results showed that application of 60 kg phosphorous ha^-1 and 7.5 kg Zn ha^-1 significantly increased the content of P and Zn in seed and stover and their uptake.
