- Intervention effect Soil and foliar zinc treatment gave the highest grain zinc content of 45.06 and 44.69 mg Zn kg−1 grain in the two years.
- Intervention effect Soil and foliar zinc treatment gave the highest grain iron content of 59.74 and 62.88 mg Fe kg−1 grain.
- Intervention effect Foliar urea gave the highest grain iron content of 58.95 and 61.95 mg Fe kg−1 grain.
- Intervention effect These zinc and urea treatments significantly increased grain yield and protein content over control.
- Intervention effect Combined zinc and urea improved grain zinc and iron relative to zinc alone.
- Recommendation The authors recommend zinc and urea application to improve chickpea grain zinc and iron.
