Abstract :Twenty registered cultivars, 6 lines and 3 local populations of chickpea insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cicer arietinum L.); were grown in con-trolled greenhouse conditions to determine their active iron insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fe+2); and total iron insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fe+2 + Fe+3); contents upon iron treatment. Control plants were grown in pots containing Fe deficient insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.9 mg Fe kg-1); soil while treated plants were applied with 10 mg Fe kg-1 in sequestrin form. Iron treatment insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fe+); significantly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.01); affected active Fe insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fe+2); contents of plants. An average of 26.2% in-crease in active Fe content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10.85 mg Fe kg-1); compared to untreated control plants from which an average of 8.60 mg Fe kg-1 was obtained. Fe application x genotype interaction was also significant with respect to active Fe contents. The highest active Fe content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(13.31 mg Fe kg-1); was obtained from Er-99 genotype with Gökçe, Menemen-92 and İzmir-92 were other high Fe containing genotypes when treated with Fe. Fe treatment significantly increased total Fe insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fe+2 + Fe+3); contents of the genotypes. The average total iron content of control group was 43.28 mg Fe kg-1 but when treated with Fe it reached to an average value of 106.36 mg Fe kg-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(146%);. Total Fe content was also significantly affected by Fe treatment x genotype interaction. Küsmen-99 had the highest total Fe content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(136.30 mg Fe kg-1); whereas Kadınhanı local population had the lowest value insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(37. 49 mg Fe kg-1);.
