An experiment was carried out during Rabi season of 2002-2003 and 2003-04 at Regional Research Station, Mainpuri, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The experimental soil was sandy loam, having poor fertility status. The two genotypes i.e. Udai and Alok were tested at four levels of nutrients integration (RDF + 15 kg S + 30 kg Ca + 0 q FYM, RDF + 15 kg S + 30 kg Ca + 50 q FYM, RDF + 15 kg S + 30 kg Ca + 100 q FYM and RDF + 15 kg S + 30 kg Ca + 150 q FYM/ha). The integration of FYM @ 50 q/ha, 100 q/ha and 150 q/ha significantly increased the kernel yield of chickpea in comparison to without integration of FYM. The pooled results of two years displayed that both cultivars at different levels of nutrients integration confined the kernel yield beyond 50 q/ha FYM. Thus, application of 25 kg N + 50 kg P2O5 + 15 kg S + 30 kg Ca in the integration of 50 q/ha FYM significantly improved the grain yield of cv. Udai by 2.51 q/ha or 21.92% and cv. Alok by 2.99 q/ha or 25.04% over non integration of FYM. The significant response noted between yield of Udai (13.87 q/ha) and Alok (14.43 q/ha) under poor edaphic condition. The growth and yield contributing characters were concordance to the kernel yield of chickpea.
