Fertilizer schedule
Use the stage cards as a planning checklist, then read country notes for local fertilizer language (rates are not prescriptions).
Inoculate seed with rhizobia when needed; supply phosphorus and potassium — legumes often need less N.
Use a low-N starter if soils are very poor; excess N reduces nodulation.
Maintain K and micronutrients (e.g. Mo, B where deficient); irrigate to reduce flower drop.

Rainfed. NPK application at time of land preparation.
Irrigated. NPK application at time of land preparation.
Chickpeas can be grown receding as Berber. No fertilizer is recommended.
Rainfed. No fertilizer application in most cases. Grown for export mainly. Low seed rate for intercrop, while higher for pure stand
Follow the stage cards above (soil prep → planting → mid-season). Exact rates depend on soil tests and local packages — FAO notes below show how growers describe fertilization in different countries.
Treat them as historical/field guidance, not a prescription for your plot. Units and products differ by country. Confirm with agricultural extension before applying.
Not a fertilizer prescription. Over-application wastes money and can harm plants and waterways. Follow local extension packages.
