Response of chickpea to in-season application of nitrogen - Ridley locations
Aims

To determine if chickpea respond to applied nitrogen.

Key messages
  • Chickpea seed yield responded to 25-50 kg N/ha applied 18 weeks after sowing at Ridely in 2020
  • Yield responses were not large enough to pay for the cost on applied nitrogen.
  • Kabuli variety Gen090 produced similar yields to desi variety CBA Captain
