Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at Shcr-c-Bangla Agricultural University farm. Dhaka
to study the response of chickpea
(Cicer arietinurn
14 cv. BARI chhola-5 to
integrated nitrogen and irrigation management during the period from November
2006 to March 2007. 'l'hc trial comprised often treatments as
T1
= no fenilizr and no
irrigation (control), 12
= 20 kg N hi' as basal without irrigation. 13 = 20 kg N ha' as
basal with one irrigation at flower initiation stage. T4 = 30 kg N hi' as basal without
irrigation , T5
= 30 kg N hi' as basal with one irrigation at flower initiation stage. T
(,
= 40 kg N hi' as basal without irrigation, T
7
= 40 kg N hi' as basal with one
irrigation at flower initiation stage, T = 10 kg N hi' as basal and 10 kg N
hi' as split
with one irrigation at flower initiation stage, 1
9
= 15 kg N hi' as basal and 15 kg N
ha1
as split with one irrigation at flower initiation stage and ho = 20 kg N ha
1 as
basal and 20 kg N ha
1
as split with one irrigation at flower initiation stage. N
fertilization with irrigation management generally increased yield and yield
components on chickpea. An application of 20 kg N ha
4
as basal and 20 kg N hi' as
split application with one irrigation at flower initiation stage
(55
DAS) of chickpea
tended to produce better performance and gave higher yield. Plants grown without
nitrogen fertilizer and irrigation (control) gave the lowest yield.
