Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Rhizobium application increased growth and yield of chickpea in field experiments.
- Intervention effect All three levels of L-methionine increased growth and yield of chickpea in field experiments.
- Intervention effect The lower dose of L-methionine (5 mg L-1) gave a higher response than the other doses in chickpea field experiments.
- Intervention effect Combined Rhizobium and L-methionine (5 mg L-1) gave the maximum grain yield of chickpea, 39.96% and 34.5% in the first and second years.
- Intervention effect The combined treatment enhanced nodule number of chickpea plants by 91.6% and 58.19%.
- Intervention effect The combined treatment enhanced leghemoglobin of chickpea plants by 161.1% and 131.3%.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation significantly improved photosynthetic pigments of chickpea.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation significantly improved seed chemical composition of chickpea.
- Intervention effect The effects of Rhizobium were more prominent when Rhizobium inoculation was accompanied by L-methionine than with Rhizobium inoculation alone.
- Recommendation The authors recommend combined use of L-methionine and microbial inoculant as a better approach for sustainable chickpea production.
