Field experiments were conducted during 2013-2014 at Tashkent, Uzbekistan to evaluate the performance of chickpea variety Jakhongir with the variable proportion of nitrogen (N) and bio-fertilizer inoculation in the moderate saline (5.6 +/- 0.6dSm(-1)) soil condition. The studied treatments were No control (non-fertilized), N1 mineral-N (50kgNha(-1)), N2, mineral-N (75kgNha(-1)), N3, mineral-N (100kgNha(-1)) equivalent 0%, 50%, 75%, and 100% from recommended rate for chickpea, Rhizobium inoculation (Bio)+No control, Rhizobium inoculation (Bio)+N1, Rhizobium inoculation (Bio)+N2, and Rhizobium inoculation (Bio)+N3. Seed inoculation with Rhizobium was significantly superior over no inoculation treatments at all rate of N fertilization. The middle rate of N fertilization 75kgNha(-1) combined with biofertilizer inoculation had of superior effect on chickpea, producing 73.2% more yield (1.68Mg ha(-1)), oil, protein, and sugar content performed 16.4%; 15.0%, and 17.9% higher value, respectively, in comparison to control.
