A field experiment was conducted during 1994-97 at Rahuri to find out sultability of fallow drip system (system used after harvest of main crop of kharif) for irrigation and fertigation in chickpea (Cicer erietinum L.). A 75% of recommended fertilizer dose (18.75 : 37.50 : 18.75 kg N, P,O, &O/ha) in liquid form (75% RDLF) was found sufficient to sustain better growth and statistically equal grain and straw yield as that of 100% recommended fertilizer dose applied either solid or liquid form. This indicated 25% fertilizer saving with 11.07% increase in yield over N (urea) through drip treatment. Drip method of irrigation attributed significant increase in yield with 51.33% saving in water compared with surface method of irrigation.References
