- Intervention effect Hydrogel improved chickpea root nodule development.
- Intervention effect Hydrogel improved chickpea dry matter yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar urea improved chickpea height and branching.
- Intervention effect Foliar urea improved chickpea yield components.
- Intervention effect Hydrogel did not produce a statistically significant yield difference.
- Intervention effect Grain yield was highest with 2% urea at 1111.77 kg ha⁻¹.
- Intervention effect Economic returns were highest with 2% urea.
- Intervention effect Hydrogel and foliar nutrition enhanced crop physiological efficiency and performance under rainfed conditions.
- Recommendation The authors propose foliar urea with hydrogel amendment to improve chickpea productivity and profitability in water-scarce regions.
