As a result of today's modern agricultural practices, many negative
consequences have been encountered due to the use of intense, inaccurate and
excessive chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In particular, chemical
fertilizers have reached fresh water sources as a result of washing, causing
environmental pollution and this has become a threat to human, domestic and
wildlife. Therefore, one of the alternatives created by experts in terms
of prevention of environmental pollution and agricultural sustainability has
been the use of useful bacteria instead of chemical input.
In this study, carried
out in Erzurum, was aimed to determine the effects of different phosphorous
rates (0, 30 and 60 kg/ha P2O5) and bacteria genotypes
(control, nitrogen fixing and phosphate solvent) on agricultural and morphological characteristics of some fodder pea
cultivars. The experiment was established in Randomized Split Blocks Trial
Design with three replications. In the study, were used Kirazli (semi-leafless)
and Urunlu (leafed) pea cultivars, Rhizobium leguminasorum and Arthrobacter agilis bacteria
and triple superphosphate 0-45-0 fertilizer.
According to the results, number of pods per plant 6.5-7.7, number of
seeds per pod 5.6-6.2, 1000 seed weight
187.5-198.9 g, seed yield 1087-1663 kg/ha, seed crude protein content 30.6-31.6
% were investigated. As a result; no response was observed for phosphate
fertilization since the soils of experiment plots were rich of this nutrient.
Yet, Rhizobium inoculation yielded
positive and significant results.
