THE IMPACT OF SEED PLANTING RATES AND FERTILIZATION QUANTITIES ON THE FORMATION OF DRY MASS IN CHICKPEA VARIETIES

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of seed planting rates and nitrogen fertilization on the accumulation of dry mass in the local chickpea varieties "Obod" and "Polvon." The research aimed to determine how different planting schemes and nitrogen quantities impact the growth and yield of these varieties. The findings revealed that the highest dry mass per hectare was achieved in the variant planted according to the 60x5x1 scheme with 60 kg of nitrogen fertilization. Furthermore, the accumulation of dry mass per individual plant was maximized in the variant planted according to the 60x15x1 scheme, also with 60 kg of nitrogen. These results highlight the importance of optimizing planting and fertilization practices to enhance the
productivity of chickpea crops.
