Evaluation of Agricultural Characteristics of Some Winter Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Varieties in Different Ecological Conditions

Özet

This study, which was carried out to determine the agricultural characteristics of some chickpea lines and varieties in Adana, and Urfa ecological conditions, was carried out in the trial fields of the Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research and GAP Agricultural Research Institutes. The study, which was carried out by different institutes using 20 chickpea lines and 3 control types, was established in a randomized block design with three replications. In the study, phenological characteristics such as the number of days until flowering, pod binding, the number of days after emergence and vegetation period after 50% emergence of chickpea plant, and acronomic characteristics such as plant height, first pod height, harvest maturity, hundred grain weight, yield per decare were examined. As a result of the study, Ascochyta blight disease controls were also carried out depending on the climatic conditions of chickpea lines and varieties. In the study, when the average grain yield values of two years in Adana location were examined; The highest grain yield was determined as 317.37 kg da^-1 from Seçkin control variety, 306.78 kg da^-1 from URFA Ç-2 line, 305.41 kg da^-1 from URFA Ç-7 line and 304.74 kg da^-1 from İnci variety. In the Urfa location, the highest grain yield was determined as 209.56 kg/da in İnci standard variety, 207.66 kg/da in URFA Ç-3 variety with row number 3, 203.92 kg da^-1 and kg da^-1 in URFA Ç-7 variety, respectively. It is seen that the control varieties İnci, Hasanbey and Seçkin chickpea varieties stand out.
