“…BARD-699 proved to be the most efficient in nodulation and hence nitrogen fixation ultimately in improving crop yield as compared to the variety BART-89 (Table 3). Nodules variation by Rhizobium strains in legume crops has been reported by many other investigators (ICRISAT, 1986;Nambiar et al, 1988;Doughton, 1995;Herridge et al, 1995;Shaheen and Rahmatullah, 1996;Aslam et al, 1997). Generally no inoculation is practiced by farmers, but natural Rhizobium is abundant in soils growing groundnut crop.…”

Groundnut variety BARD-699 produced significantly the most promising yield than that of variety BARI-89 at Attock, Fatehjang and NARC, Islamabad. Rhizobium strains, NC-92 was found to be less efficient as compared to TAL-1000; TAL-1371. Nodule dry mass and number of pods per plant were much higher than that of control treatment. Although a significant difference in growth and yield of both the varieties due to Rhizobium inoculation was observed but on average basis TAL-1000 and TAL-1371 gave significantly better response for both the varieties in improving growth and yield at all sites. Nevertheless, future prospects for groundnut production are good in Pakistan if the farmers are realized to practice inoculation technology in their fields.

“…Other potential benefits include: a better supply of other nutrients such as cations like potassium, calcium and magnesium (Sauerborn et al 2000); an N sparing effect (where legumes depend on fixed nitrogen and thus leave more available soil N to be taken up by the next crop: Herridge et al 1995). A further benefit could be arbuscular mycorrhiza infection and the suppression of root nematodes by legumes (Bagayoko et al 2000).…”

Productivity and residual benefits of grain legumes to sorghum under semi-arid conditions in southwestern Zimbabwe

The productivity and residual benefits of four grain legumes to sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) grown in rotation were measured under semi-arid conditions over three cropping seasons. Two varieties of each of the grain legumes; cowpea (Vigna unguiculata); groundnut (Arachis hypogaea); pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan); Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea), and sorghum were grown during the first season. The same experiment was implemented three times in different, but adjacent fields that had similar soil types. At the end of the season the original plots were split in two and residues were either removed or incorporated into the subplots. The following season sorghum was planted in all subplots. In 2002/03 (314 mm rainfall) cowpeas produced the largest dry grain yield (0.98 and 1.36 t ha −1 ) among the legumes. During the wettest year (2003/04, 650 mm rainfall) groundnut had the highest yields (0.76 to 1.02 t ha −1 ). In 2004/05 (301 mm rainfall) most legume yields were less than 0.5 t ha −1 , except for pigeon pea. Estimates of % N from N 2 -fixation from the legumes were 15-50% (2002/03), 16-61% (2003/04) and 29-83% (2004/05). Soil water changes during the legume growth cycle were proportional to varietal differences in total legume biomass. Sorghum grain yield after legumes reached up to 1.62 t ha −1 in 2003/04 compared with 0.42 t ha −1 when following sorghum. In 2004/05, sorghum yields after legumes were also higher (up to 1.26 t ha −1 ) than sorghum after sorghum. Incorporation of crop residues had no significant effect on sorghum yield. Beneficial effect of legumes on yields of the subsequent sorghum crop were more readily explained by improvements in soil nitrogen supply than by the small observed changes in soil water relations. Our results demonstrate clear potential benefits for increasing grain legume cultivation in semi-arid environments through the use of improved germplasm, which also gave substantial increases in subsequent sorghum productivity (up 200% in a wet season and 30-100% in a dry season), compared with an unfertilized sorghum crop following sorghum.

“…Legumes are of great importance in rotation, especially in which the fallow lands are intensive. Legumes, produced in rotation with cereals, can contribute to the total N in the soil and increased yields of the cereal (Herridge et al, 1995;Lopez-Bellido et al, 2004a).…”

To cite this paper: Kayan, N., İ. Kutlu, N.G. Ayter and M.S. Adak, 2017. Effects of different tillage systems and soil residual nitrogen on chickpea yield and yield components in rotation with wheat under dry farming areas. AbstractThe aims of this study were to determine how the tillage system and residual N of soil affected chickpea yield and its trait in rotation with wheat under Central Anatolia Region. In this study, two tillage methods viz. conventional and reduced tillage, three crop rotations; wheat-wheat; wheat-fallow; wheat-chickpea and four N levels of 0, 50, 100, 150 kg ha -1 were evaluated for four years duration (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015). Tillage methods were maintained into main plots, crop rotation into subplots and N levels into sub-sub plots. Only chickpea in continuous rotation with wheat was examined in this study. The results were evaluated according to split plot design with three replicates. Grain yield was higher under conventional tillage (CT) than reduced tillage (RT) in both of the growing seasons. Some important yield components were higher under RT than CT especially in the second growing season. These differences of tillage methods may also be due to climatic conditions. Residual fertilizer N significantly affected chickpea grain yield which increased with 100 and 150 kg N ha -1 levels. Results also indicated that; conventional tillage may be more appropriate for chickpea in rotation with wheat. Chickpea grain yield was also affected when N fertilizer applied to wheat.
