Five concentrations of Zn (0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 mg Zn pot–1)were added to the pots as Zn chelate. Chickpea responded to the soil Zn applications and there were highly significantdifferences between soils. At maturity plants fertilized with Zn had greater total dry matter production mainly due toincrements in pods weight. The lowest yield (2.65 g plant–1) was obtained from 0 mg Zn pot–1, while the highest yield(3.52 g plant–1) was recorded at 4 mg Zn pot–1. The increased yields in Zn applied plants was the result of increasednumber of pods per plant. Furthermore, this yield component was closely correlated with the seed yield PB Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA) SN 1695-971X LK https://hdl.handle.net/10612/21426 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10612/21426 NO Valenciano Montenegro, J.
