A field investigation on “Growth and yield analysis of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) as influenced by nutrient management through nano fertilizer.” was carried out during Rabi season, 2020-2021 at post graduate institute research farm Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani. Research was undertaken to study of morphological, growth and yield attributing traits of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) through nano fertilizer. Experiment design with the randomized block design with three replication and ten treatments. The nano Fe, Zn and P fertilizer were used with NPK. The yield attributing characters are pod number, test weight, yield per plant, yield per plot, yield per hector and seed recovery and seed quality parameters includes germination percent, seedling length, seedling weight, seed vigour index involve under the study. Among all ten treatments T₈ and T₁₀ treatments shows significant effect on the pod number, seed yield per plant and per plot other in seed quality parameters also shows significantly increase in germination, seedling length, seedling dry weight and seed vigour index of Rabi chickpea. The most increase in yield attributes and seed quality parameters was obtained by the seed coating and foliar application of nano Zn and Fe @ 62.5 ml/ha and 250 ml/ha. In conclusion, this study proved that 100% RDF , seed coating of nano Zn + Fe @ 62.5 ml/ha and foliar spray of nano Zn + Fe @ 250 ml/ha can increase in the plant yield in chickpea.
