“…These results are supported by the similar findings of Mohammadi et al (2010) who reported that inoculation of chickpea seeds did not affect starch content. In agreement with our results, Abdalla et al (2013) reported that rhizobium inoculation significantly increased fiber content of chickpea seeds. The positive effect of seed inoculation on fiber content was previously reported by Osman et al (2010) and Elsheikh et al (2009).…”

To evaluate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer and inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhiza and Rhizobium ciceri on grain quality of chickpea, two experiments were conducted. The greenhouse experiment was designed as randomized complete blocks (RCB) in a factorial arrangement with four replications. The first factor consisted of two seedbeds including S 1 (field soil) and S 2 (soil + organic fertilizers). The second factor included inoculation with rhizobium, mycorrhiza, combined rhizobium and mycorrhiza, and control. The results showed that combined inoculation in S 2 increased plant height, root dry matter, shoot dry matter, and leaf chlorophyll content by 23.5, 27.2, 60, and 41.3%, respectively compared with control and it was selected for the next experiment as the best inoculant. In the field experiment, treatments included two inoculation levels (noninoculated and combined inoculation) and split application of nitrogen fertilizer during sowing, flowering, and pod filling including F 0 (0 kg, 0 kg, 0 kg), F 1 (25 kg, 0 kg, 0 kg), F 2 (25 kg, 25 kg, 0 kg), F 3 (25 kg, 25 kg, 25 kg), F 4 (50 kg, 0 kg, 0 kg), F 5 (50 kg, 50 kg, 0 kg), and F 6 (50 kg, 50 kg, 50 kg), respectively. The results showed that application of nitrogen fertilizer increased grain nitrogen, phosphorus, fiber, and protein content compared with unfertilized treatment (F 0 ) but did not affect P, K, Fe, Zn, and starch content. Also, combined inoculation increased grain N, P, K, Zn, Fe, and protein content by 18.7, 7.6, 7, 9.7, 10.4, and 11.2%, respectively, compared with control. In general, the split application of N fertilizer (especially F 3 and F 6 treatments) and coinoculation with effective rhizobacteria and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi increased nutrient content and the quality of chickpea grain.

“…It is well known the role of phenolics in the resistance mechanisms of plants against fungal pathogens (Lattanzio et al, 2006). Some variables such as rhizome inoculation (Abdalla et al, 2013) and row spacing (Menga et al, 2014) proved to be effective on the accumulation of phenols in chickpea. However, in our study neither the year nor the sowing date or sowing rate (only tested for Trial 2) affected TT content.…”

Effects of seeding date and seeding rate on yield, proximate composition and total tannins content of two Kabuli chickpea cultivars

Experiments were conducted in open field to assess the effect of seeding season and density on the yield, the chemical composition and the accumulation of total tannins in grains of two chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars (Pascià and Sultano). Environmental conditions and genetic factors considerably affected grain yield, nutrient and total tannins content of chickpea seeds, giving a considerable range in its qualitative characteristics. Results confirmed cultivar selection as a central factor when a late autumn-early winter sowing is performed. In effect, a more marked resistance to Ascochyta blight (AB) of Sultano, allowed better agronomic performances when favourable-to-AB climatic conditions occur. Winter sowing appeared to be the best choice in the Mediterranean environment when cultivating to maximise the grain yield (+19%). Spring sowing improved crude protein (+10%) and crude fibre (+8%) content, whereas it did not significantly affect the accumulation of anti-nutrients compounds such as total tannins. The most appropriate seeding rate was 70 seeds m -2 , considering that plant density had relatively little effect on the parameters studied.

“…Use of Rhizobium inoculants helps in improving available N and P in the soil after crop harvest which can be utilized by the next crop (Abdalla et al, 2013). Similarly, Chandra and Pareek (2015) recorded 0.6%, 6.5% and 4.3% higher organic carbon, available N and available P, respectively, in a Rhizobium inoculated chickpea.…”

Role of Rhizobium in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) production - A review

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the major food legume. It belongs to family Fabaceae (Leguminosae) and is widely grown for its nutritional benefits. In the present scenario, sustainability of agriculture has become a major issue of global concern as the intensive use of chemical inputs has an adverse impact on the environment. Use of biofertilizers such as Rhizobium can reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and decrease adverse environmental effects. The studies have shown positive effect of Rhizobium (Mesorhizobium) inoculation on growth attributes, symbiotic parameters, yield and yield components, nutrient uptake and quality in chickpea. Fluctuations in various environmental factors viz. pH, nutrient availability, temperature, moisture, salinity and herbicides greatly influence the growth, survival, and metabolic activity of nitrogen fixing bacteria and plants, and their ability to enter into symbiotic relationship.
