Abstract

Background & Objective: This research was carried out in order to investigate the performance and performance components of mixed cultivation of chickpeas and L. iberica and to determine the best ratio of the mixed cultivation pattern of these two species in the dry conditions of Saqez city.
Methods & Materials: The experiment was carried out as a factorial split plot in the form of a randomized complete block design with three repetitions in Saqez city. The first factor includes 3 planting times (autumn, waiting, spring), the second factor in 3 levels including Saral, Nusrat, Anna chickpea cultivars and the third factor in 5 cultivation patterns including pure chickpea cultivation (25% urban balangu: 100% chickpeas). , (50% urban balango: 100% chickpeas), (75% urban balango: 100% chickpeas) and pure balango cultivation.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between chickpea cultivars in terms of plant height at the level of 1% in terms of planting time. The highest number of seeds per chickpea plant was obtained in Anna variety in winter season and in pure culture. Land use efficiency was positive and greater than one. The competition ratio in the 100:50 cropping pattern was the highest in the autumn season and Nusrat variety. .
Conclusion: 100:25 intercropping pattern of L. iberica and Nusrat chickpea variety in expected cultivation in the climatic conditions of Saqez city is suitable and can be recommended as a suitable intercropping pattern.
