Journal Article 2016 11 08 In order to determine the effects of the foliar applicationof ureaand micro elements during growth periods of maternal plants on germination, vigor and greening of produced chickpea seeds (Kabuli), an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at the Agricultural Faculty Research Station, Ferdowsi university of Mashhad during 2013-2014. The treatments consisted of foliar applicationat six levels: control (foliar application with water); foliar applicationof urea (2 %); foliar applicationof urea + (2%) Zinc (2 per thousand); foliar applicationof urea (2%) + Iron sulfate (3 per thousand); foliar applicationof urea (2%) + Zinc (2 per thousand) and iron (3 per thousand); foliar applicationwith urea+ complete fertilizer (3 per thousand micro-elements containing 500 ppm) and foliar applicationwith two levels, sprayed once at the beginning of flowering and sprayed twice namely, one at the beginning of flowering and one at seeding stage that include 12 treatments in total. The result showed that foliar application was not significant on germination percentage and maximum speed of germination using two times foliar application of urea + Zinc+ iron and foliar applicationwith urea+ complete fertilizer in flowering and seeding time treatments, respectively. Two times offoliar application using urea + zinc + iron had the highest impact on the vigor index.
