​Effects of Microbial Fertilizer and Vermicompost Applications on the Yield and Yield Related Parameters of Broad Bean (Vicia faba L.) under Eastern Mediterranean Highland Agroclimatic Conditions

Background: This study was conducted to determine the effects of microbial fertilizer and vermicompost applications on yield related parameters broad beans (Vicia faba L.) under zero chemical applied conditions. Trial area a highland remote sea Mediterranean climate in South Eastern Anatolia Turkey. It is located fertile crescent 180 km away Karacadag Mountains (Diyarbakir) where Einkorn wheat (Aegilops monococcum first cultivated history approximately ten thousand years ago. The bean also among founder crops Near East including trial location. Methods: Rhizobium leguminosarum inoculant were used as experiments. Applied doses 0, 400, 800 1200 kg ha-1. trials for two replicated thrice randomized block deign. Conclusion: Application found significantly effective plant height, pod number pods per plant, seeds pod, 100 grain weight yield. Aapplication ha-1 120 along with inoculation superior
