A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of Mewar University, Gangrar, Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, during Summer seasons of 2022- 2023 to study the “Effect of organic manure and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of chickpea “(Cicer arietinum)” The treatments consisted of Twelve varies combination of T₁ Control, T₂ Rhizobium 20 kg, T₃ FYM @ 5 tonnes ha^-1,T₄ FYM @ 5 tonnes ha^-1 + Rhizobium 10 kg + PSB 10 kg, T₅ FYM @ 2 tonnes ha^-1+ Castor cake @ 0.5 tonnes ha^-1, T₆ Conc. neem cake organic manure @0.5 tonnes ha^-1 + vermicompost @0.5 tonnes ha^-1, T₇ 100% of RDF, T₈ 50%phosphorous + 25% Nitrogen +25% Potash, T₉ 50% of nitrogen+ 25% phosphorous+ 25% sulphur T₁₀ 50% RDN + 50% RDP T₁₁ 50% RDN + 25% RDP, T₁₂ 25% RDP + 50% Potash, With three Replicated and laid out in randomized block design. The result indicated that among the maximum plant height (39.40 cm) was recorded at harvest, maximum number of branches (23.44) was recorded at harvest, with T₆ (Conc. neem cake organic manure @0.5 tonnes ha^-1 + vermicompost @0.5 tonnes ha^-1), The maximum number of pod^-1 (44.25), significantly maximum number of seed per pod^-1 (2.74) of chickpea, recorded significantly higher seed yield (4568.42 kg/ha), biological yield of chickpea significantly influenced higher stover yield (14275.93 kg/ha), significantly of chickpea maximum stover yield was (9707.50 kg/ha, Maximum fetched value in term of net return ( 162888 /ha) and highest B:C ratio was recorded (5.62) with concentrate neem cake organic manure @0.5 tonnes ha^-1 + vermicompost @ 0.5 tonnes ha^-1.
