Abstract

A field experiment on a pearl millet–chickpea cropping sequence was conducted during kharif and rabi seasons of 2023–24 and 2024–25 at the Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Gujarat, on loamy sand (“Goradu”) soil. The study evaluated two FYM levels (0 and 10 t/ha), three zinc levels (0, 12.5 and 25 kg Zn/ha), and three iron levels (0, 25 and 50 kg Fe/ha) in a factorial randomized block design with three replications. Treatments were applied to pearl millet, and residual effects were studied on chickpea. Application of FYM (10 t/ha), ZnSO4 (25 kg/ha), and FeSO4 (50 kg/ha) with 100% RDF significantly increased pearl millet plant height, effective tillers, and yields, with grain yields of 3949, 3839 and 3819 kg/ha in 2023; 3980, 3880 and 3871 kg/ha in 2024 and pooled: 3965, 3859 and 3845 kg/ha. The aim of this study is to find out how the FYM, Zn and Fe affect growth, yield attributes, yield and quality of kharif pearl millet.
