A field experiment was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station, Raichur on black soil during rabi 2013-14 to study the effect of nutrient management practices through organics on growth, yield and economics of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under rainfed condition. Application of RDF recorded higher seed and haulm yield (1624 kg ha-1 and 2430 kg ha-1, respectively) over rest of the treatment combinations except FYM + vermicompost + cow urine (1547 kg ha-1 and 2355 kg ha-1, respectively), vermicompost + panchagavya (1513 kg ha-1 and 2270 kg ha-1, respectively), vermicompost + cow urine (1510 kg ha-1 and 2216 kg ha-1, respectively) and FYM + vermicompost + panchagavya (1489 kg ha-1 and 2163 kg ha-1, respectively) along with beejamrutha + jeevamrutha. Similar effect was found for growth and yield parameters like leaf area, leaf area index, total dry matter production, number of pods per plant and seed weight per plant. Significantly higher net returns and B:C ratio were recorded with RDF treatment (` 34,978 ha-1 and 2.92) and was on par with FYM + vermicompost + cow urine (` 31,915 ha-1 and 2.70), vermicompost + cow urine (` 30,602 ha-1 and 2.63) and vermicompost + panchagavya (` 30,076 ha-1 and 2.54) along with beejamrutha + jeevamrutha. Beejamrutha + Jeevamrutha alone recorded lower growth and yield parameters and monetary benefits.
