Abstract EN

The research was conducted in the 2019-2020 season in Al-Kasak sub-district of Tal Afar district, 50 km west of the city of Mosul, to study the effect of salicylic acid on the growth characteristics, yield and protein content of chickpea plant (Cicer arietinum L).

Salicylic acid (SA) was used at concentrations of 0.0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg / L in three dates : the first date : soaking the seeds with SA for 8 hours and the second date : spraying with SA 30 days after planting and the third date : spraying with SA 50 days after planting.

The results of the study showed : in vegetative growth characteristics ; All concentrations of salicylic acid (50, 100, 150 and 200 mg / L) caused a significant increase in the vegetative growth characteristics.

The maximum was 39.88 cm in plant height at 150 mg / L and the lowest was 27.7 for the control treatment, while the concentration was 200 mg / L.

Significant increase in leaf area, the top of which was 549.52 cm 2 .plant-1 compared to 172.76 cm2 .plant-1, and the number of leaves and number of branches increased significantly in all concentrations of salicylic acid used, which reached a maximum of 82.38 leaves.plant-1 and 2.74 branches.plant-1 respectively at concentration 200 mg / L compared to 49.78 leaves.plant-1 and 1.37 branches.plant-1.

The dry weight increased significantly with the increase of concentrations, especially the concentration 150 mg / L, it reached 7.93 g.

plant-1 compared to 4.90 g.

plant-1.

As for the dates, their effect differed according to the studied characteristics.

The best date for using salicylic acid was the third date (spraying after 50 days of planting) in terms of plant height, number of leaves, leaf area and number of branches, while the first date was the best in dry weight.

In the yield characteristics ; The results showed that all the used concentrations of salicylic acid had the ability to improve the yield characteristics in varying proportions according to the concentration.

The concentration of 100 mg / L was distinguished in reducing the time required for the appearance of the first pod, as it reduced the period from 73.78 days in the comparison treatment to 70.67 days from the date of cultivation.

As for the concentration of 150 mg / L, it was characterized by a significant increase in each of the traits; The number of pods (9.58 pods.plant-1) compared to (5.95 pods.plant-1) in the control treatment, and the plant yield from seeds (50.94 g / m2 ) compared to (34.40 g / m2 ) in the comparison treatment, and the biological yield (151.2 g / m2 ) compared to (93.9 g / m2 ) in the comparison treatment And seed protein (27.36) compared with (20.66) in the comparison treatment, and in the weight of 100 seeds also (27.87 g) compared to (25.81 g) when the comparison.

The dates of treatment with SA showed the superiority of the first date (soaking before planting) in most of the yield traits represented in the number of total pods, weight of 100 seeds, plant yield of seeds and biological yield, while the second date showed superiority in the characteristic of the time required for the emergence of the first pod and The seed protein.
