EFFECT OF SEED PRIMING WITH MANGANESE AND BORON ON GROWTH, YIELD AND SEED QUALITY OF CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.)

This study was conducted at two locations; the field of Khabat Technical Institute-Erbil Polytechnic University and agriculture directory in Harir-Erbil, during spring 2021. To effect seed priming with manganese boron on growth, yield quality chickpea. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) three replications used, first factor represented seeds by four concentrations manganese: (0, 2, 4 6 g liter-1) second liter-1). Seed liter-1 from Harir location produced heights plant height (cm), leaf area (cm2), index, dry matter (g m2), number pod plant-1, pod-1, weight 100 (g), (kg ha-1) protein ha-1). The percentage protein%, oil% nitrogen% recorded 2 Mn B, while carbohydrate%, phosphorus% potassium% B both locations. From interaction between for all growth parameters, components, but nitrogen%, liter-1,
