Abstract

Growing chickpea in the Philippines is a new enterprise and the demand is through importation. Chickpeas have an entrenched place in Filipino food culture, which developed during the Spanish colonial era. The study was conducted at Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet from November 2009 to March 2010 to determine the growth and yield of chickpea varieties as affected by different sources of organic fertilizers. The treatments included 6 chickpea varieties and 4 organic fertilizers. The phenological attributes of chickpea were not significantly different among the various applications of organic fertilizers except for weight of 100 seeds and seed yield. ICCV 93952 (desi) applied with BSU compost (2N - 2.7P - 2.4K) and Kabuli variety ICCV 2 fertilized with Sagana 100 (7N-7P 7K) produced the highest seed yield of 2217 kg/ha and 2216 kg/ha, respectively. The study clearly indicates that organic fertilizers have influenced the productivity performance of chickpea
