Abstract

ABSTRACT. Biofertilization results from chickpea cultivar N6
with Mesorhizobium cicerii INIFAT-GR1 strain cultivated on a
Ferralitic Red soil are firstly reported in Cuba using a
randomized block design and 25-m2 plot size. The strain under
study was previously selected by a bioscreening method,
which showed a high colonization index obtaining high values
in number, weight and nitrogen content in nodules when the
minor doses of nitrogen fertilizer were applied. Plant
development, evaluated by height, number and weight of pods,
biomass and other indexes was not affected when nitrogen
fertilizer dose was reduced to 70 % in relation to control. Finally,
1.2 t.ha-1 seed yield were recorded without affecting seed
quality; these results enabled to reduce agriculture
chemicalization
