ارزیابی عملکرد کمی و کیفی نخود زراعی در سیستم های کشت مرسوم، کم نهاده و ارگانیک

In order to study the effects of farming systems on three chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivar, an experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, University of Maragheh in 2013. Experiment was conducted as split plot bases on randomized complete block design with three replications. Farming system as main factor in three-levels (conventional, low input and organic farming) and three chickpea cultivars were considered as sub-plots (Piroz, Bionich and Jam). Some traits including plant height, number of pod per plant, 100-seed weight, biological yield, grain yield, harvest index and protein concentration were measured. Results showed that traits were affected by cultivars. But between farming systems and farming system×cultivar interaction no significant differences observed. The greatest value number of seed and number of pod were obtained from piroz cultivar. Also the greatest value 100-seed weight and value of protein concentration were obtained from organic farming. Therefore, though the yield was reduced as a result of organic farming, however, positive effect on soil structure, which consequents increase yield in long term can be expected.
