Effect of Iron and Boron Interaction on Yield and Nutrient Contents of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Abstract

Iron and boron are essential elements in plant development. The effect of both elements on plant growth and nutrient content were tried to be determined by field study. The study was carried out with three replications according to factorial experiment design in randomized blocks in the research area of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Department of Field Crops. At the end of the study, changes in yield and yield criteria and grain macro and micronutrient content were examined. Iron applications only affect the biological yield of the yield criteria, whereas the chickpea straw N, P, K, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and grain P, Mg, Fe, Zn and B contents were affected. The effect of boron application on second branch count, number of pods and fertile number of pods, while straw nutrient content P, Mg, Zn, B and grain nutrient elements P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, B were found to be affected. It was determined that the boron and iron doses to be applied to nutrient contents and yield were 0.25 kg B da-1 and 10 kg Fe da-1.

Demir ve Bor İnteraksiyonunun Nohutun (Cicer arietinum L.) Verim ve Besin Elementi İçerikleri Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Demir ve bor bitki gelişiminde önemli elementlerdir. Her iki elementinde bitki büyümesine ve bitki besin elementi içeriğine etkisi arazi çalışmasıyla belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırma Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Tarla Bitkileri Bölümü araştırma alanında faktöriyel deneme desenine göre tesadüf bloklarında üç tekerrürlü olarak yürütülmüştür. Çalışma sonunda verim ve verim kriterlerindeki değişimler ile tane makro ve mikro besin içerikleri incelenmiştir. Demir uygulamaları verim kriterlerinden sadece biyolojik verimi etkilerken, nohut sapının N, P, K, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu ve tane P, Mg, Fe, Zn ve B içerikleri etkilenmiştir. Bor uygulamasının ikinci dal sayısı, bakla sayısı ve fertil bakla sayısı üzerine etkisi önemli olarak belirlenirken, nohut sapının besin elementi içeriğinde P, Mg, Zn, B ile tane besin elementlerinden P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn ve B içerikleri üzerine öenmli etkisi belirlenmiştir. Besin elementi içeriği ve bitki verimi açısından uygulanacak uygun bor ve demir dozlarının 0.25 kg B da-1 ve 10 kg Fe da-1 olduğu belirlenmiştir.
