Abstract
Background and Objective: In order to investigate the interaction of smoke water, mycorrhiza fungus and rhizobium bacterium on the yield and yield components of chickpea, an experiment as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out at the Campus of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Razi University, Kermanshah, in 2019 cropping season.
Materials and Methods: The main plots included the foliar application of smoke water (1 lit/ha) at vegetative and beginning of flowering and soil application of smoke water (2 and 4 lit/ha) along with no use of smoke water as control. The inoculations of micro-organisms (rhizobium, mycorrhiza, rhizobium+mycorrhiza and control) were as sub factors.
Results: The results showed that the effect of smoke water on the grain yield, biological yield, pods per plant, grains per plant and 100-grain weight were significant. The effects of biological agents on the grains yield, biological yield, 100-grain weight were significant. The smoke water spraying (1 lit/ha) in terms of grain yield (547.8 kg/ha), biological yield (2122.4 kg/ha), pods per plant (13.2), grains per plant (7.6), 100-grains weight (35.5 g) had the highest values. The use of rhizobium with mycorrhiza in terms of grain weight (35.7 grams), grain yield (503.6 kg/ha) and biological yield (1918.0 kg/ha) had the greatest average.
Conclusion: In general, spraying of smoke water with 1 lit/ha at two stages along with inoculation of seeds with rhizobium and mycorrhiza can improve chickpea yield under rainfed condition.
