Abstract

Excessive use of nitrogen has become a threat to human health and the environment due to high concentrations of nitrate and nitrite accumulating in surface and ground waters. Biological dinitrogen fixation (N2) is a very important natural process in world agriculture. Rhizobia is a common name for a certain Gram-negative group of Alphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria that can form nodules on the root and fix nitrogen in symbiosis with legumes as their host plants. Azotobacter spp. is a free-living microorganism that has the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil. Field trials were carried out of Eskişehir Osmangazi University Field Crops Department experiment areas during the production season of 2017 and 2019. The study was evaluated the effects on morphological and phenologocial characters of two N doses (0 and 25 kg ha-1 N), four bacteria inoculations (control, Rhizobia, Azotobacter, Rhizobia + Azotobacter) on chickpea cultivars (Azkan, Akca, Cakir, Isik). Experiment arranged in split split plot experimental design with three replications. Nitrogen application positively affected number of days to emergence, number of branches, branch diameter and grain yield. Phenological and morphological properties affected by climate conditions. The high temperature caused the number of days to emergence, number of days to flowering and number of days to maturity to be earlier in the second year. Plant height, first pod height and grain yield were higher first year than second year due to high precipitation. While the response of the cultivars was different in terms of phenological properties, Azkan cultivar gave the best results in terms of morphological properties. Rhizobia + Azotobacter inoculation gave the best results in terms of phenological and morphological characteristics except for number of days to maturity. Rhizobia + Azotobacter inoculation can lead to additional income generation of the farming community in Turkey. The use of biofertilizers may reduce the application of chemical fertilizers and we get healthy, pollution-free production for a better future for our increasing populations.

Abstract

Azotun aşırı kullanımı, yüzey ve yer altı sularında biriken yüksek konsantrasyonlardaki nitrat ve nitrit nedeniyle insan sağlığını ve çevreyi tehdit eder hale gelmiştir. Biyolojik azot fiksasyonu dünya tarımında çok önemli doğal bir süreçtir. Rhizobia, kök üzerinde nodüller oluşturabilen ve konukçu bitkileri olarak baklagillerle simbiyozda azotu sabitleyebilen belirli bir Gram-negatif Alphaproteobacteria ve Betaproteobacteria grubunun ortak adıdır. Azotobacter spp., atmosferik nitrojeni toprağa sabitleme yeteneğine sahip serbest yaşayan bir mikroorganizmadır. Tarla denemeleri 2017 ve 2019 üretim sezonunda Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Tarla Bitkileri Bölümünde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada iki azot dozu (0 ve 25 kg/ha N) dört nohut çeşidi (Azkan, Akça, Çakır ve Işık) ve dört bakteri uygulamasının (kontrol, Rhizobia, Azotobacter ve Rhizobia + Azotobacter) nohutun fenolojik ve morfolojik özellikleri üzerine etkisi değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma bölünen bölünmüş parseller deneme deseninde üç tekerrürlü olarak yürütülmüştür. Ana parsellerde azot dozları, alt parsellerde nohut çeşitleri ve altın-altı parsellerde ise bakteri uygulamaları yer almıştır. Fenolojik ve morfolojik özellikler iklim koşullarından etkilenmiştir. Yüksek sıcaklık, ikinci yılda çıkış, çiçeklenme ve olgunlaşmanın daha erken olmasına neden olmuştur. Bitki boyu, ilk bakla yüksekliği ve tane verimi, yüksek yağış nedeniyle birinci yıl ikinci yıla göre daha yüksek olmuştur. Azot uygulamaları çıkış zamanı, dal sayısı, dal çapı ve tane verimini olumlu yönde etkilemiştir. Fenolojik özellikler bakımından çeşitlerin tepkileri farklı olurken, morfolojik özellikler bakımından en iyi sonuçları Azkan çeşidi vermiştir. Olgunluk süresi dışında fenolojik ve morfolojik özellikler açısından Rhizobia + Azotobacter uygulaması en iyi sonuçları vermiştir. Rhizobia + Azotobacter uygulaması Türkiye'deki çiftçilerin ek gelir elde etmesine yol açabilir. Biyogübre kullanımı kimyasal gübre kullanımını azaltabilir. Biyogübreler ile artan nüfusumuza daha iyi bir gelecek sağlamak için sağlıklı ve kirlilik içermeyen temiz bir üretim elde edebiliriz.
