Chickpea inoculant and nutrient management
• Application of inoculant (standard peat rhizobia) increased nodulation on CBA CaptainA, but there was minimal effect of crop nutrition (N and P) on nodulation.
• Inoculation increased crop biomass, even where 40 kg/ha N was applied. N application only increased biomass where inoculant was not applied.
• Increasing P rate from 5 to 15 kg P/ha did not affect crop biomass.
• The trial was not harvested for grain due a hailstorm.
• Biomass samples are being processed to determine the amount of N-fixation in the nil N treatments.
Soil phosphorus 0-10 cm (Colwell): 73 mg/kg
Soil pH (CaCl2): 5.3
Gypsum: 0.5 t/ha pre-sowing to ensure adequate sulphur
Cultivar: CBA Captain
