RABI CROPS
Chickpea
Chickpea (Bengal Gram) is India’s largest pulse crop, contributing significantly to dietary protein and nutritional security
It improves soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation, reducing dependence on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers
Chickpea fits well into cereal-based cropping systems and provides an important source of income for farmers in rainfed and irrigated regions
Why Your Chickpea Needs Phosphorus?
Promoting Root
Growth & Nitrogen
Fixation
Phosphorus stimulates root growth and effective nodulation, improving biological nitrogen fixation
Improving Pod
Formation & Seed
Weight
Adequate phosphorus enhances flowering, pod formation, seed development, and seed weight, leading to increased yield
Enhancing Drought
Resilience & Nutrient
Efficiency
Balanced phosphorus nutrition improves nutrient-use efficiency and supports better crop performance under moisture-limited conditions
