Abstract: This experiment was conducted at Students’ Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology Kanpur (U.P.) in Rabi season for two consecutive years (2017-18 and 2018-19) to assess “the combined effect of fertility levels, bio-fertilizer and micronutrients on growth and productivity of chickpea”. The soil of the experimental field was sandy loam in texture, poor in fertility in respect of available nitrogen and organic carbon and medium in respect of available phosphorus, available potassium, available Zinc and available Boron. Soil was slightly alkaline in reaction (pH 7.70). The experiment was conducted in Split Plot Design (SPD) with three replications and twenty one treatments combination. The main plot was consisting of three fertility levels (100% RDF (20:60:20 NPK kg/ha), 50% RDF+Vermicompost@2.5t/ha and 50% RDF+FYM@5t/ha) and sub plot consisting of seven micronutrient management treatments (control, Biofertilizers (PSB@6kg/ha) as basal, Micronutrients (Zn@5kg/ha) as basal, Boron (Bo@6kg/ha) as basal, PSB+Zn, PSB+Bo and PSB+Zn+Bo). Chickpea variety KWR-108 was grown with the recommended agronomic practices. The treatments effect was monitor in terms of crop growth and productivity of chickpea rabi season.
