A field experiment was carried out at the Navsari agricultural university, Navsari during 2011–2012 to study the effect of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) varieties and weed management practices on quality parameters, nutrient content and uptake by crop. The result indicated that significantly maximum protein content (21.35%) and protein yield (385 kg ha⁻¹) as well as nutrient content in seed N (3.42%), P (0.72%) and K (0.87%) in stover N (1.41%), P (0.25%) and K (1.42%) and uptake of nutrient by seed N (61.65 kg ha⁻¹), P₂O₅ (13.06 kg ha⁻¹) and K₂O (15.76 kg ha⁻¹) were recorded by treatment W2 (Weed free upto harvest- H.W. 20, 40 & 60 DAS.) as compared to unweeded (control) respectively. All varieties of chickpea found equally suitable for cultivation.
