Abstract	Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the secondmost important pulse crop after pigeonpea in the World for human diet and other use. It is cultivated in area of 13.54 million hectares with a total production of 13.10 million tonnes and average productivity of 967.6 kg/ha (FAO 2013). Chickpea is an important winter season pulse crop in India grown as a dry pulse crop or as a green vegetable with the former use being most common. It ranks first in area cultivated in India, grown over an area of 8.11 million hectares with production of 5.9 million tones with average productivity of 727 kg/ha (Anonymous, 2016). Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka are the major chickpea producing states sharing over 95 % area. It is a key source of protein and it plays an important role in human nutrition for large population in the developing world. Chickpea valued for its nutritive seeds with high protein content (18-22 %), carbohydrate (52-70 %), fat (4-10%), fiber (3%), minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc) and vitamins. Chickpea also plays a main role in increasing soil fertility due to its nitrogen fixing ability. Chickpea can fix up to 140 kgN/ha in a growing period (Poonia and Pithia 2013). It leaves substantial amount of residual nitrogen for subsequent crops and adds plenty International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 11 (2019) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com
