An experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2021-2022 at the College of Agriculture, Kalaburagi. The study aimed to assess the impact of biochar on various growth and yield parameters of chickpeas. Results indicated that the treatment involving 100% of the recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) and biochar applied at 4 t ha-1 significantly enhanced grain yield, stover yield, and harvest index of chickpea. Additionally, plant height, number of branches per plant, dry matter production, number of pods per plant, and 100-seed weight were also notably higher under this treatment compared to others. In conclusion, the application of 100% RDF along with biochar at 4 t ha-1 demonstrated superior performance in increasing both grain and stover yield of chickpea. These findings underscore the potential of biochar as a beneficial soil amendment in enhancing crop productivity, particularly in chickpea cultivation.
