Abstract
Abstract A study was conducted in order to investigate yields in relation to seed inoculation of chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L. cv. Aziziye‐94) with eight Rhizobium leguminosarum ssp. ciceri strains isolated from wild chickpeas ( C. anatolicum ) of high altitudes (2000–2500 m) in comparison with standard bacterial culture, uninoculated control and mineral nitrogen fertilizer application in the growth room and in the field in 1999, 2000 and 2001 in Erzurum (29°55′N and 41°16′E at an altitude of 1850 m), Turkey.In the growth room trial, bacterial inoculations significantly increased shoot dry weight, N %, total N, N fixed and efficiency of symbiosis compared with the uninoculated control treatment depending on the strains. In the field trial, inoculations with HF 274 and HF 177 increased nodule dry weight, N %, chlorophyll, seed yield and total biomass yield depending on the strains, the lowest values being recorded in uninoculated plots. As an average of years, inoculation with HF 274, HF 177 and standard bacterial culture increased seed yields, respectively, by 23.3, 22.7 and 16.8 % over uninoculated control.In conclusion, rhizobial inoculation of chickpea with HF 274 and HF 177 strains isolated from wild chickpeas ( C. anatolicum ) of high altitudes may substitute costly N fertilizers in chickpea production even in cold highland areas such as Erzurum.
