Abstract

Tribenuron-methyl is used extensively in Iranian cereal cropping systems under rainfed conditions. However, there is little information on the soil persistence and carryover of this herbicide and its phytotoxicity to subsequent crops in the rotation. This study was carried out with the aim of investigating the sensitivity of different chickpea cultivars to tribenuron-methyl and also finding alternative crops. In field experiments, the chickpea fields of Ravansar County, Kermanshah province, Iran were monitored during 2023-2022, and the growth of chickpea in response to residues of tribenuron-methyl used in the previous wheat crop was evaluated. Furthermore, in a greenhouse experiment, the effect of various concentrations of tribenuron-methyl on the growth of chickpeas, lentil and common vetch was investigated. In all the investigated species in this study, presence of tribenuron-methyl decreased plant growth. Ttotally, among examined crop species, lentil had a higher tolerance to tribenuron-methyl followed by common vetch and chickpea varieties. Bivanij chickpea variety was more sensitive to the residues of tribenuron-methyl in the soil (30% reduction in grain yield) when compared to the other two varieties, namely Mansour and Adel. Based on the results of this study, residues of tribenuron-methyl applied in wheat fields is the main responsible factor reducing the height of chickpea in rai-fed cropping systems of western Iran. It is recommended to replace lentil and common vetch with chickpeas in rotation with wheat in soils heavily contaminated with the residues of tribenuron-methyl.
