Abstract

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a vital legume crop which considerably contributes to the nutritional security of millions. Sustainable production of chickpea requires optimizing nutrient management practice to improve productivity while sustaining soil health. Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) is an approach by which chemical fertilizers, organic manures, and bio-fertilizers are applied judiciously to meet balanced nutrient supply. This review collates recent research on INM strategies in chickpea, discussing their effect on yield, soil fertility, and environmental sustainability.

Keywords: Chickpea, chemical fertilizer, organic manures, bio-fertilizer
