Abstract

Objectives: The study was conducted to investigate the effect of salicylic acid priming and nanofertilizer application on the yield and some morphological characteristics of two chickpea cultivars in order to select the most appropriate treatment under rainfed conditions.

Materials and methods: This experiment was carried out as factorial-split in the form of a basic design of randomized complete blocks with three replications in two crop years 2015-2016 and 2015-2016 in Khorramabad, Lorestan. The variety factor includes Adel and Grit, and salicylic acid priming, including no priming and priming in the main plots, and nanofertilizer in four levels, including control and foliar spraying at the rate of one, two and three liters per hectare were placed in sub-plots.

Results: The results showed that in both the Adel and Greet, the highest number of seeds per plant, hundred seed weight, seed yield and harvest index were obtained from salicylic acid and nanofertilizer spraying depending on the amount of use. In both Adel and Great, the highest seed yield was produced by the application of salicylic acid with two liters per hectare of nanofertilizer (1840 and 1152 kg/hectare, respectively). The highest level of leaf greenness, seed protein and protein yield was also obtained from the application of salicylic acid with half to one liter per hectare of nanofertilizer.

Conclusion: In general, the Adel cultivar with salicylic acid priming and spraying at least half a liter per hectare of nanofertilizer is recommended to improve the quantity and quality of chickpeas in dry conditions.
