Abstract: A field experiment has been conducted to study the effect of basal and foliar application of major and micro nutrients on chickpea during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15 at the Instructional Cum Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.). Results indicated that treatment T₁- Control shows higher flower drop percentage at 70 DAS (76.42, 69.43 and 72.92%), 80 DAS (39.55, 43.51 and 41.53%) and 90 DAS (64.55, 62.88 and 63.71%) however, it was at par with T₂-20:40:20. Treatment T₉ (T₃+ Mo+ B+ DAP) registered significantly high Pod Setting Index at 70 DAS (41.37, 46.49 and 43.93%), 80 DAS (48.44, 48.39 and 48.41%) and 90 DAS (54.33,54.18 and 54.26%); yield attributes like number of pods plant^-1 (53.86, 58.64 and 56.25), number of seeds pod^-1 (2.20, 2.31 and 2.26), seed weight (9.93, 10.26 and 10.09 g plant^-1) and seed yield (1546, 2088 and 1817 kg ha^-1) and stover yield (2058, 2421 and 2240 kg ha^-1) are also significantly higher as compared to other treatments during 2013-14, 2014-15 and on mean basis, respectively. However, it was at par with treatments T₇ (T₃+ DAP), T₈ (T₃ + B+ DAP), T₁₅ (T₄+ B+ DAP) and T₁₆ (T₄+ Mo+ B+ DAP) during 2013-14, 2014-15 and on mean basis.
