The Effect of Different Sowing Densities on the Yield and Some Yield Components of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under Mardin Kızıltepe Ecological Conditions
Abstract
The aim of this work is to determine different plant densities for chickpea in Mardin Kızıltepe conditions. Three cultivars of chickpea (Aziziye-94, ILC-482 and Diyar-95) were sown at four different sowing densities (30, 40, 50 and 60 seeds m-2). The trial was conducted in the experimental elds of Kiziltepe Vocational High School of Mardin Artuklu University by using split plots in randomized block design with the three replicates in years of 2013 and 2014. Chickpea cultivars were established as main plots and plant densities were established as split plots. Effects of sowing densities on plant height, rst pod height, number of branches, numbers of pod per plant and numbers of seed per plant, numbers of seed per pod, 1000 grain weight, grain yield and harvest index were investigated for three cultivars. According to the two years results; effects of varieties and sowing densities on the yield and yield components of lentil were obtained signi cantly. While the highest grain yield per area was obtained at the ILC-482 cultivar as 159.18 kg da-1 and 124.83 kg da-1, the lowest grain yield per area was obtained at the Diyar-95 cultivar as 117.76 kg da-1 and 100.16 kg da-1 in years of 2013 and 2014 respectively. The most suitable sowing density was determined with 50 seeds m-2 in Mardin Kızıltepe conditions.
