Effect of Fertilization and Seed Size on Nodulation, Yield and Yield Components of Chickpea (Cicer Arietinum L.)
(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic inst Ltd, 2017) Erdemci, I; Aktaş, Hüsnü; Aktas, H.; Nadeem, M. A.
This study investigated the effects of seed size and fertilizer usage with seed at planting on agronomic parameters of chickpea as a winter crop. The experiment was conducted according to split-split plots of randomized blocks with four replications. As factorial two chickpea varieties (Arda and Diyar 95), two fertilizer applications (with and without fertilizer) and three seed sizes (large, medium and small) are discussed in this study. The results showed that fertilizer applications along with seed at planting and large seed increased significantly the number of seed per plant, number of pods, biological yield, grain yield and 100-grain weight. However, fertilizer applications with large seeds had a negative effect on the output of the seeds and reduced grain yield per unit. In general, plants germinating from large seed had higher number of pods and number of seeds plant(-1), 100 seed weight, biological and seed yield plant(-1), while plants germinated from medium seed had higher emergence percentage, first pod hight, nodule fresh weight plant(-1) and grain yield ha(-1). These effects tend to decrease in chickpea varieties having medium-grain weight as Arda. It was concluded that, application of fertilizer along with seed during the sowing time results in decreased emergence percentage of the seeds and lower the yield in chickpea.
Quantitative and Qualitative Response of Wheat To Pseudomonas Fluorescens Rhizobacteria Application
(Pakistan Agricultural Scientists Forum, 2019) Erdemci, I; Aktaş, Hüsnü; Eren, Abdullah; Eren, A.
Rhizobacterial application is efficient approach and process focusing less chemical fertilizers for increasing soil fertility and nutritional value of grains for different crops. This study investigated the effect of Pseudomonas fluorescens rhizobacterial application on the yield, yield components, grain quality and content of nutrition elements in wheat and in soil. Experiments were designed according to randomized complete block design with four replications in environmental conditions of Diyarbakir province, Turkey, during 2014 and 2015 growing seasons. Four treatments of Pseudomonas fluorescens rhizobacteria (control, seed inoculation, foliar application, seed + foliar) were used to investigate their effects on various aspects of wheat crop. Results of present study indicated that P. fluorescens rhizobacteria applications significantly (P=0.05) affected grain yield, Al, K, Mg, and Zn content in grain, total N, and available P, K, Fe, and Mn elements in soil. The maximum grain yield was obtained from the combined application of seed inoculation + foliar application and showed 7% higher yield than in the control. Study indicated that application of rhizobacteria has positive effect on soil productivity, yield and nutritional quality of grains.
