Evidence from an array of dryland systems suggests that chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) grain yield could be improved through better phenological adaptation. However, information on the relationship between phenology and Ascochyta response genes, and their possible interaction with biomass and grain yield, is missing. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to determine the associations between the above factors and biomass and grain yield in chickpea. To that end, standard Israeli cultivars and advanced generation bulked progeny from the cv. Hadas × ICC5810 cross were used. Hadas is a late-flowering, high-yielding Israeli kabuli (0.45 g/seed) cultivar with moderate field resistance to Ascochyta blight, whereas ICC5810 is a day-neutral desi (0.15 g/seed) genotype with a strong temperature response, from India. Higher yields were observed among the late-flowering bulks of the Hadas × ICC5810 progeny. No relationship between the Ascochyta response and biomass and grain yield was observed. No interaction between the phenology and Ascochyta response grouping on biomass and grain yield was observed. The results demonstrate the feasibility of combining Ascochyta resistance with earlier flowering and its potential to improve chickpea adaptation to dryland systems.

In order to evaluate the effect of sowing date and planting pattern on yield and qualitative parameters of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in intercropping, a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications, in Hamedan, Iran, during 2014-15. The rapeseed seeds were sown on 21st September. Chickpea was sown on four sowing dates as the main factor (21 September, 10 October, 30 October and 20 November) with 20 days interval. The sub-factor was the planting pattern by replacement series including 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100 chickpea-rapeseed mixtures, respectively. Based on the results obtained, among chickpea sowing dates, the first and the last dates had the lowest and highest above-ground biomass and grain yield, respectively. During the late sowing date of chickpea (20 November) the field temperature was colder than the earlier dates, and therefore the freezing temperatures did not allow the seeds to germinate. However, no damage happened to seedlings with the earlier sowing dates. The highest yield was observed in sole cropping for both crops. In contrast, the highest values of land equivalent ratio were obtained in intercropping system. The highest value for land equivalent ratio was calculated as 1.23 in intercropping of 50% chickpea + 50% rapeseed.

This research was carried out in 2014-15 to determine yield and yield components of Azkan chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) varieties with four different phosphorus doses and rhizobium bacteria in Van-Gevaº ecological conditions. The experiment was established as a randomized block design with three replications. The results of the research indicated that inoculation and phosphorus doses affected plant height, height of first pods, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of grain per plant and grain yield significantly. Grain yield averages ranged between 1556.10-1682.30 kg ha-1 in the first year and 1628.90-1677.30 kg ha-1 in the second year. When the results of inoculation and phosphorus doses were examined, the highest grain yield in both the years (1894.90-1867.70 kg ha-1, respectively) was obtained with 80 kg ha-1 phosphorus doses applied to inoculated plots. Increases in inoculation and phosphorus doses increased the grain yield.
