| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted at two locations; the field of Khabat Technical Institute-Erbil Polytechnic University and field of agriculture directory in Harir-Erbil, during spring 2021. To study the effect of seed priming with manganese and boron on growth, yield and quality of chickpea. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications was used, the first factor represented priming of seeds by four concentrations of manganese: (0, 2, 4 and 6 g liter-1) and second factor boron (0, 2, 4 and 6 g liter-1). Seed priming by 4 g liter-1 of manganese and 4 g liter-1 of boron from Harir location produced the heights of plant height (cm), leaf area (cm2), leaf area index, dry matter (g m2), number of pod plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, weight of 100 seeds (g), seed yield (kg ha-1) and protein yield (kg ha-1). The heights percentage of protein%, oil% and nitrogen% was recorded at 2 g liter-1 of Mn and B, while carbohydrate%, phosphorus% and potassium% recorded at 4 g liter-1 of Mn and 2 g liter-1 of B from both locations. From interaction between manganese and boron concentrations was from Harir location at 4 g liter-1 of Mn with 4 g liter-1 of B for all growth parameters, yield and yield components, but the heights percentage of protein%, oil% and nitrogen%, was recorded from interaction Mn with B at 2 g liter-1, while carbohydrate%, phosphorus% and potassium% was recorded at 4 g liter-1 Mn with 2 g liter-1 B from both locations. | ||
