Abstract :

 In order to study the different methods of tillage and application of herbicides on yield andyield components of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), this experiment was conducted inkhorammabad region in 2017 as factorial random based on complete randomized blockdesign with three replications. Tillage factor was considered at three levels control (I1),conservation tillage (I2), common tillage (I3) and herbicide application at 4 levels of control(m1), paraguat (m2), glyphosate (m3), mix of syncope and beta (m4). The results showedthat tillage had significant effect on protein percent, harvest index, plant number, pod numberper plant, number of seeds, grain yield, and harvest index. The results showed thatapplication of herbicide on protein percent, plant number, pod number per plant weresignificant effect but, harvest index, biological yield were not significant. In relation to tillagemanagement factor, conventional plow with 1097.7 kg/ha had the highest and control with0.906 kg/ha showed the lowest seed yield. The maximum seed yield was obtained in thecombination of treatment Sankur and Beta herbicides (1044.7 kg/ha) and the lowest (939.3kg/ha) were gained in control conditions. Interaction between tillage and planting depth(I3m4) had the highest seed yield (1110/9kg/ha) and the lowest was i1m1 with779/9 kg/ha.
