Effects of rhizobiums sush inoculation and fertilizer on yield and yield components of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in Khorasan-Razavi

Abstract

In order to evaluate the efficiency of inoculation of chickpea seeds with Mesorhizobium and application of nitrogen on yield and yield components of chickpea an experiment was conducted in Research Station of Neishobour, Khorasan-Razavi. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications and 13 treatments including Mesorhizobium (SWRI 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15), nitrogen levels (70 and 140 mg/Kg from urea source), zinc (25 Kg.ha-1 from zinc sulphate source), and the control. Results showed that differences of grain and biological yield among treatments were significant (P
