Abstract

This research was carried out in the experimental area of the Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute in 2012 and 2013. In the study, four different chemical applications (Thidiazuron, Ethephon+cyclanilide + Thidiazuron, Glyphosate, Ethephon+cyclanilide) were used in four chickpea cultivars (İnci, Hasanbey, Seçkin and Aydın), in two different sowing times for winter (December), Summer (February) and harvest maturity. It was aimed to determine some agronomic characteristics of the plant, its yield and its effects on the germination of seeds. Average and the standard deviation values of the number of major branches (1.75±0.51), the number of minor branches (6.69±3.95), the total number of pods (60.84±27.83), Number of empty pods (6.57±3.36), number of full pods (54.64±25.75), number of seeds (63.60±30.56), seed yield (23.55±11.31) differed between 4 chickpea varieties in winter sowing. In chickpea cultivars without chemical applications average and the standard deviation values of the number of major branches (1.84±0.42), the number of minor branches (7.54±4.61), the total number of pods (55.19±14.55), the number of empty pods (6.87±3.21), the number of full pods (48.68±12.9), the number of seeds (58.12±15.86), the grain yield (21.03±6.59) varied between the mean and standard deviation values. Average and the standard deviation values of the number of major branches (2.07±0.95), the number of minor branches (11.77±10.13), the total number of pods (52.59±18.06), the number of empty pods 5.72±3.74, number of full pods (47.4±15.25), number of grains (55.14±19.12), grain yield (18.36±6.46) in chickpea varieties with chemical applications exhibited difference among chickpea cultviars during in summer sowing. The number of major branches (1.94±0.91), the number of minor branches (12.83±11.56), the total number of pods (56.27±19.82), the number of empty pods (6.59±4.7) in cultivars , the number of full pods (49.82±17.18), the number of seeds (59.06±20.73), the grain yield (19.88±7.42) varied between the mean and standard deviation values during summer sowing season.
