Abstract :The effects of chicken manure and different bacteria applications on yield and yield components of beans were investigated in present study. The field experiment was conducted during the 2019 and 2020 at the experimental area of the Faculty of Agriculture, Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Eskisehir, Turkey. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications. Chicken manure (chicken manure + and chicken manure -) were main plots and bacteria applications (control; traditional; rhizobia; bontera; traditional + rhizobia; traditional + bontera; rhizobia + bontera; traditional + rhizobia + bontera) were sub-plots. All of the investigated characters were higher in second year than first year except for harvest index and hundred kernel weight due to especially June precipitation in second year. Application of chicken manure positively affected important yield components, chlorophyll content and yield. In general, the application of bacteria alone or together has positively affected yield and yield components. The highest yield was obtained from traditional+rhizobia+bontera application. Consequently; it was determined that the efficiency of bacteria increased with the application of chicken manure and positive results were obtained in yield and yield components of beans.
