Yield and Yield Component of Chickpea as Affected by Boron Application
Journal Title: Journal of Experimental Agriculture International - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
The present research work was carried out to study the yield of chickpea as affected by boron application. Five varieties of chickpea namely BARI Chola-5, BARI Chola-6, BARI Chola-7, BARI Chola-8 and BARI Chola-9 and four levels of boron (0, 1, 2, 3 kg B ha-1) were used in this experiment. A Randomized Complete Block Design was used for the experiment with three replications. Variety had significant effects on yield and its components of chickpea. BARI Chola-8 showed better performance and produced the highest seed yield (1.74) as compared to other varieties used in the study. Application of boron significantly improved yield and yield attributes of chickpea. The highest seed yield (1.70 t ha-1) was obtained at 3 kg B ha-1 as compared to other levels of boron application. Results revealed that BARI Chola-8 integrated with 3 kg B ha-1 was found to be the best treatment for higher yield of chickpea.
