Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect No-till barley and no-till wheat systems did not differ from the tilled-fallow system in days to chickpea emergence and stand establishment.
- Intervention effect The two no-till systems averaged 2100 kg ha-1 chickpea seed yield, 83% of the yield in the tilled-fallow system.
- Intervention effect Without Rhizobium inoculant, increasing N rates significantly increased chickpea seed yield in the two no-till systems.
- Intervention effect Without Rhizobium inoculant, increasing N rates gave no yield response in chickpea in the tilled-fallow system.
- Intervention effect Without Rhizobium inoculant, increasing N rates decreased chickpea plant density in all three systems.
- Intervention effect Compared with the non-GR control, Rhizobium inoculant (GR) increased chickpea seed yield by 37% in the no-till systems.
- Intervention effect Compared with the non-GR control, Rhizobium inoculant (GR) increased chickpea seed yield by 8% in the tilled-fallow system.
- Intervention effect Chickpea receiving fertilizer N plus GR produced a similar yield to chickpea receiving GR only, for all cultivars.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that optimal cropping systems, improved high-stability cultivars and effective N-fixing inoculants will enhance chickpea adaptability in northern latitudes.
