Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during winter season 201617 and 201718 at Bikaner, Rajasthan, to study the effect of seed rates and nipping on yield, nutrient uptake and quality of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) varieties. Among varieties, GNG 1581 recorded significantly higher seed yield (2,142 kg/ha)
