Abstract :

with increasing in production and trade of chickpeas(Cicer arietinum ), the need to improve its production methods is felt more and more, so that in producing countries, research on its cultivation has been given more attention.Today, One of the problems faced by farmers in developing countries is the poor condition of soil structure, which causes problems such as reduced germination rate, uneven growth of germinated plants and as a result of their unequal competition with each other in the use of resources such as light, Nutrients and water, this causes differences in plant biomass and ultimately yield.One of the methods to overcome this problem is the use of seed pretreatment before germination (priming) and in this regard, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of nanopriming (Nano Titanium dioxide) on seed germination and plant growth parameters on (Cicer arietinum ).The results showed nanopriminng with Nano Titanium dioxide was significant on the parameters of stem dry weight and root dry weight but not significant on root length ,stem length ,root wet weight, stem wet weight ,plant wet weight ,total dry weight and speed germination. The studies were performed with SPSS software and Duncan test.Finally, it is concluded that seed pretreatment before germination with Titanium Nanoxide is effective and increases the production of chickpeas, the positive effect of this compound on other plants had been previously reviewed and confirmed.
