33805

Seed yield and some properties of four chickpea varieties were investigated in this study under dry conditions of Erzurum province between 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. This study was designed in randomized complete blocks with three replications. The highest seed yield (138.1 kg/da) was produced by Isık variety, the lowest (94.4 kg/da) by Çağatay variety. Plant height ranged from 42.6 to 49.7 cm and the number of branch from 2.8 to 3.3. The number of pods per plant and the number of seeds per pod were 26.1- 31.5 and 26.2-31.1, respectively. First pod height ranged from 20.6 to 27.6 cm, and 100 seed weight from 42.8 to 46.2 g. According to results, Aziziye-94 variety was recommended to the farmers in Erzurum and surroundings.
