Effect of phosphate solubilizing bacteria, inorganic phosphorus fertilizer and chicken manure applications on yield and yield components of lentil (Lens culinaris L.)

The effectiveness of inorganic phosphorus fertilizer, organic chicken manure and phosphate solibilizng bacteria applications on the yield and quality of lentil was tested with repeated field trials in this study that was carried out in Siirt ecological conditions. The study was carried out in four replications according to the split-split plot experiment design in random bloks in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 growing seasons. Tigris lentil (Lens culinaris) variety was used in this study. Triple super phosphate as inorganic, fermented chicken manure as organic and phosphate solubilizing Brevibacillus choshinensis (TV-53D) and Kluyvera cryocrescens (TV-113C) bacterias as biological fertilizer will be used. Emergence time, flowering period, pod filling time, maturing time, plant height, first pod height, number of primary and secondary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, seed yield per plant, number of seeds per pod, biological yield, grain yield, harvest index, 1000-grain weight and protein content was determined in the study. According to the results of the study, the emergence period is 18,11-20,02 days, the flowering period is 149,06-152,28 days, the pod tying period is 162,46-162,64 days, the ripening period is 189,02-184,42 days, the number of plants per square meter is 179,23-185,44 pieces, the plant height is 29,03-45,34 cm, the height of the first pod is 14,23-23,06 cm, the number of primary branches is 2,46-3,01 pieces, the number of secondary branches is 4,91-5,29 pieces, the number of pods in the plant is 41,85-42,93 pieces, the number of grains in the plant is 50,86-52,02, the number of grains in the pods is 1,23-1,24 pieces, Biological yield was 666,00-779,62 kg/da, grain yield was 189,90-220,26 kg/da, harvest index was 28,42% - 28,46%, thousand grain weight was 27,84-33,12 g, grain protein ratio was 22,64% - 27,05%. As a result of the research, the highest grain yield was obtained as 279,03 kg/da in the P1 (4 kg P2O5/da dose) x T1 (200 kg/da chicken manure) x B2 (TV113C-Kluyvera cryocrescens) interactions.
