Abstract

A pot trial was conducted to examine Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn uptake of 20 chickpea genotypes at different P levels on multi-nutrient deficient sandy loam soil. Increasing P up to 13.5 mg/kg soil increased Zn concentration while further increase led to decrease. Genotypes, KPG 59, BG 256, RSG 888 and JG 315 showed Zn concentration below the critical limit of 20 mg Zn per g DW at high level of P application (27.0 mg/kg). Fe concentration in plants decreased with increasing P levels. Up to 13.5 mg/kg P application, Cu concentration increased and thereafter it decreased. Mn concentration gradually increased with increasing P levels. Among genotypes, HK 94-134 maintained higher Zn concentration, Radhey in case of Fe, GCP 101 in Cu and RSG 888 in Mn at high level of P application (27.0 mg/kg).
