Popis: A field experiment was conducted at Rajaula Agriculture farm, of Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya Chitrakoot, Satna (M.P.) during Rabi season of 2021-22. To study the effect of phosphorous and vermicompost on growth parameters, yield components and yield of chickpea the experiment comprised of 12 treatment combinations in randomized block design with three replications. Chickpea variety GNG-1958 (Marudhar) was grown with the recommended agronomic practices. On the basis of the results emanated from present investigation, it could be concluded that application of P2O5 @ 75 kg ha-1 + V @ 5.0 t ha-1 significantly recorded maximum growth parameters such as viz. plant height at 90 days (42.7 cm), number of leaves at 60 days (27.2) and number of nodule plant-1 (13.4), maximum yield attributing characters such as number of pod plant-1 (60.8), number of seed plant-1 (64.4) and seed index (27.56 gm). Similarly the maximum seed yield (17.2 q ha-1) was associated with the treatment fertilized with P2O5 @ 75 kg ha-1 + V @ 5.0 t ha-1.
