Effect of Rhizobium, Mycohrriza and Diammonium Phosphate fertilizer on the Nodulation, Growth and Yield of Chickpea

Abstract

Single season field experiment was carried outin the Food Security Farm River Nile State at Atbara in the winter season (2014). The experiment was aimed to study theeffectofrhizobium,mycohrrizaanddiammoniumphosphate fertilizer on the nodulation, growth and yield of Chickpea.The experiment a randomized complete block designwas usedwith four replicates for this perpose. The treatments were: control, inoculun, inoculum + mycohrriza, inoculum + mycohrriza + DAP120 kg /ha and inoculum + mycohrriza + DAP140 kg /ha. Thetreatmentrhizobium + mycohrrizaresulted in the highest relative growth rates, number of nodules, and grains yield t/ha with statistically significantly differences over the other treatments .But the treatment rhizobium gave significant difference in 100 seeds weight (gm), however the treatment control and rhizobium + mycohrriza + DAP140 kg /ha gave the highest number of pods/plant significantly differences over the other treatments. But the treatment rhizobium + mycohrriza + DAP120 kg /ha gave the highest number of seeds/pod.
