Physiological and biochemical response of local landrace and chickpea varieties to rhizobium inoculation and planting dates under different agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia
2013
Mengistu, Molla
Research examined the response of five chickpea varieties to agronomic practices including seeding time and inoculation with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Results from three locations (Halba, Wolaita and Butajira) over two growing seasons (2011 and 2012/13) are summarized in this report. Nitrogen fixation by chickpea was successful; the effects of residual nitrogen from chickpea crops on wheat growing in the next cycle indicates a reduction by 50 percent in the cost of fertilizer on wheat. The paper reports on results of varieties under differing conditions (such as planting date) in experimental plots.
