Field experiment pertaining to response of chickpea to application of Humic Acid (HA) along with vermicompost was carried out at Organic Farming Research Institute, UAS, Raichur during 2018-19. The HA was extracted from pressmud and tested on chickpea crop through soil application and foliar spray. This field experiment was laid out in RCBD with 11 treatments comprising of 75 per cent and 100 per cent recommended dose of N and P through vermicompost ( VC) and rock phosphate (RP) along with soil application and foliar spray of humic acid. The treatments were replicated thrice. Higher seed and stover yield of chickpea (1659 & kg ha-1 ), pods per plant (), 100 seed weight ( g) and better uptake of major and micronutrients by seed and straw of chickpea was recorded due to application of recommended dose of N and P through VC and RP along with soil application of HA @ 5 kg ha-1 and foliar spray @ per cent compared to other treatments. | Response of chickpea to application of humic acid along with vermicompost on uptake of nutrients, yield attributes and yield
