The experiment was laid out in randomized block design included ten treatments. The treatment were, T₁ - Absolute control, T₂ – GRD, T₃ - As per soil test, T₄ - STCRC (25 qha^-1 target), T₅ - Vermicompost @ 2.5 tha^-1, T₆ - FYM @ 5 tha^-1, T₇ - Jeevamrut – 3 times application, T₈ - Jeevamrut – 6 times application, T₉ - 25% N-FYM + 75% RDN, T₁₀ - 25% N-Vermicompost+ 75% RDN.

The pooled results (2007-08 to 2011-12), resulted that there was significant influence of different treatments on grain yield of chickpea. Application of T_10, 25% N- Vermicompost + 75% RDN through urea treatments, gave significantly higher grain yield (2733 kgha^-1), which was followed by T₄, (2450 kgha^-1). In case of straw yield gave maximum T10, (3274 kgha^-1) with application of 25% N- Vermicompost + 75% RDN through urea treatments, which was followed by T₉, (2916 kgha^-1). The data presented revealed, that the maximum organic carbon content (0.058%), available nitrogen (240.7 kg ha^-1), Phosphorous (14.75 kg ha^-1) and potassium (531 kg ha^-1) was obtained by application of T₁₀, 25% N- Vermicompost + 75% RDN through urea treatments. The application of 25% N- Vermicompost + 75% RDN through urea increased the uptake of nitrogen (139.4 kg ha^-1), Phosphorous (42.4 kg ha^-1) and potassium (74.7 kg ha^-1), which was followed by T4, treatment with uptake of nitrogen (131.1 kg ha^-1), Phosphorous (38.6 kg ha^-1).
