The present investigation entitled “Effect of Chelated Zink, Iron and Boron on Growth and Yield of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)” was carried out Agronomy Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Bhagwant University, Ajmer, during rabi season, 2021-22 and 2022-23. The topography of the experimental field was uniform levelled and uniform in depth up to 60 cm. The type of soil is black soil developed from Volcanic rocks and lava- flow. the soil comes under the vertisole order. The soil of the experimental field was slightly saline in nature, pH was 7.01 and 6.67, moderately alkyl in EC 0.484 and 0.433 (dSm-1) and low organic carbon 0.30 and 0.31 (%) as well as the initial soil fertility of the experimental field was low in available nitrogen 210.2 and 208.1 kg ha-1, Low in available phosphorus 20.5 and 19 kg ha-1 and low in available potassium 142.2 and 139 kg ha-1. Among the different nutrient management treatments application of GRDF + soil application of multi-micronutrient Grade-II @ 10 kg ha-1 exhibited significantly higher Number of branches (22.26 and 22.81), spared plant-1 (45.98 cm) and 50 % Flowering (57.80 and 58.85 days) at harvest as compared to rest of nutrient management treatments during rabi 2021-2022. The chickpea crop fertilized with GRDF + soil application of multi micronutrient Grade-II @ 10 kg ha-1 produced significantly higher grain yield (28.48 q ha-1), straw yield (31.68 q ha-1), biological (60.05 q ha-1) and harvest index (47.33%) as compared to other nutrient management treatments under study. While significantly minimum days for flower initiation (48.00 days), days to 50% flowering (54.68 days) and early maturity (101.00 days) were observed when chickpea crop was not fertilized with any nutrient.
