Abstract
Salinity is one of the main problems in arid and semi arid lands. This experiment was designed to evaluate some responses to salinity in four chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars. In order to do this study, the different levels of soil salinity (1, 3, 5, 7 dS m -1) on four chickpea cultivars (Kaka, Pirooz, Jam and Native population) were investigated in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete design with three replications in the Research Greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, University of Birjand, South Khorasan, IRAN at 2016. Salinity reduced the height of stem, total dry matter, chlorophyll content, protein yield, protein percentage, seed yield, number of filled pods and number of seeds in the pod. Kaka cultivar had produced the highest seed yield with 185.11 gr.m -2 under salt stress. Chickpea cultivars have different responses to salinity and the Jam cultivar seemed to have a tolerance to salt stress compared to other cultivars.
