Abstract
With respect to the economical and environmental effects of organic and biological fertilization on crop production, and the importance of water efficiency under rainfed conditions the following experiment was performed. The effects of mycorrhization, phosphate solubilizing bacteria and vermicomposting on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) yield, nutrient uptake and proteins were investigated in the Experimental Research Institute of Khorram Abad, Lorestan, Iran, in 20092010. The experiment was a factorial on the basis of a completely randomized block design with four replications. Chickpea seeds were treated with inoculum (spore, hyphae and roots) of Glomus intraradices, (from Soil and Water Research Institute, Karaj, Iran), rock phosphate treated with Pseudomonas striata and vermicompost (0, 6, 12 T/ha, manure treated with Eisenia foetida, from Behsaman Co. Karaj, Iran). The results were statistically compared using Dunkan’s multiple range comparison. For the mycorrhizal treatment the results were like the following, grain yield (2497 kg/ha), grain nutrient concentrations of N (2.8g), P (0.28g), K (1.4g), and Fe (4.5 mg/100g), N uptake (69.4 kg/ha), grain protein percentage (17.2%), and grain protein amount (433.7 kg/ha). The corresponding values for the bacterial treatment were equal to the grain yield (2310.0 kg/ha), nutrient concentrations of N (2.8g), P (0.29g), K (1.3 g) and Fe (4.5mg/100g), N uptake (64.8 kg/ha), grain protein percentage (17.5%) and grain protein amount (405.1 kg/ha). The vermicompost treatment (12 T/ha) resulted in grain yield (2373.7 kg/ha), nutrient concentrations of N (2.9g), P (0.3g), K (1.4g), Fe (4.7mg/100g), N uptake (70.2 kg/ha), grain protein percentage (18.3%), and grain protein amount (438.7 kg/ha). Both mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria were effective on the production of chickpea, however their effects were more pronounced when combined with the vermicompost treatment. The right combination of biological and organic treatments can significantly increase chickpea production under rainfed conditions.
