Nodulation and protein content of selected chickpea varieties as impacted by spacing and n-fertiliser rates in Eastern Kenya

Abstract: Chickpea is a major legume grown in Kenya. The agronomic performance, nodulation ability and grain crude protein are not fully exploited. Field experiments were conducted at Embu, Kenya to determine the effect of plant spacing and N-fertilizer rates on nodulation and protein content of selected chickpea varieties. A split-split plot design was used and replicated three times. Treatments consisted of main factor, variety in four levels (Saina K, Mwanza 2, Chania I, Chania III), sub factor, spacing in three leve… Show more

“…The long rains occur from mid-March to the end of June while short rains are from mid-October to the end of December, giving two cropping seasons per annum. The region is classified as lower midland (LM4) agro-ecological zone with black cotton soils (Wafula et al, 2021). The majority of farmers in this region mostly practice minimal rain-fed farming.…”
