Background: The present study investigated the effects of two different zeolite applications and different nitrogen-based fertilizers on the yield and yield components of chickpea in dry and irrigated conditions. Methods: The field experiment was conducted during 2019 and 2020 in the experimental area of the Faculty of Agriculture, Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Eskisehir, T & uuml;rkiye. The experimental design was split split plot with four replicates. The main plots included growing conditions (dry - irrigated); subplots included zeolite applications (zeolite+ - zeolite-); and sub-sub plots included nitrogen applications [control, traditional, chemical, barnyard manure and Isabion (an animal collagen-derived biostimulant)]. Result: All the investigated characters were higher in irrigated growing conditions than in dry growing conditions, except for protein content. Average rainfall was recorded throughout the first year of the experiment and the application of zeolite had a beneficial impact on both yield and yield components. Nevertheless, in the second year of the experiment, the application of zeolite was rendered ineffective due to an abundance of precipitation. Barnyard manure increased yield and yield components more than other nitrogen applications.
