Participatory evaluation and selection of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) varieties for yield and yield related traits at three locations of Hadiya Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Field experiment was conducted during 2021 main cropping season at three locations of Hadiya Zone (Wachemo, lambuda, and sanfa wasala kebele) with the objective of evaluating and selecting faba bean varieties for high yield and other agronomic traits through involvement of farmer’s participation. Ten nationally released and one local check faba bean varieties were laid […]

Biochemical identification of some faba bean genotype

Faba bean is an important crop in Egypt both for human and animal consumption. This experiment includes 8 promising lines and 4 varieties of faba bean genotypes (Vicia faba L.) was carried out at Giza Research Station, ARC during the winter seasons of 2018 and 2019 to identify and discriminate these genotypes. Biochemical analysis including […]

Evaluation of faba bean genotypes for yield and resistance to Fusarium root rot under greenhouse and field conditions

Faba bean is a paramount grain legume crop, which plays an important role in the food security for humans and animals, in addition to its vital role in sustainable agriculture. However, this crop is prone to yield losses due to infection with Fusarium root rot. We evaluated 16 faba bean genotypes for yield and resistance […]

Interactive effects of cadmium stress and proline on physiological and biochemical parameters of faba bean plant

Heavy metal stress is one of the major abiotic stresses that cause environmental pollution in recent decades. Under stress, Proline accumulated in many plants and acts as a signaling molecule and trigger specific gene expression, which can be essential for plant recovery from stress .Therefore, the present experiment was aimed to study the effect of […]

Growth characteristics and grain yield of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) as influenced by intercropping with Moldavian balm (Dracocephalum moldavica) and fertilizers application

In order to evaluate the effect of different fertilizer treatments and intercropping patterns on growth characteristics and grain yield of faba bean (Vicia faba L.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial on the bases of randomized complete block design with three replications in 2015. The first factor was four cropping systems including monoculture of […]

Performance of five Faba bean varieties under different irrigation intervals and sowing dates in newly reclaimed soil

In order to study the effect of irrigation and sowing date on plant characteristics, chemical and yield traits of five faba bean cultivars, an experiment was conducted in two growing seasons in the farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Demo, Fayoum University, Egypt. Using split-split plot in RCBD with three replications. Irrigation intervals (I) was […]

Effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and zinc on maize hybrid and their carry over effect on faba bean

Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Zinc are main and expensive inputs in crop production. But the repeated excessive used of these fertilizer are costly and may harmful for environment. A considerable amount of nutrient is left unutilized and may have positive impact on subsequent crop. A two years experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of nitrogen […]

Effect of different intercropping patterns and fertilizers on some growth characteristics of faba bean (Vicia faba L.)

In order to evaluate the effect of different intercropping patterns and fertilizers on some growth characteristics and biomass of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at the Research Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tabriz, Iran […]

Population density of Aphis fabae Scopoli (Hemiptera, Aphididae) and its natural enemies in intercropping of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica L.)

Increasing crop diversity via intercropping is a simple and effective strategy for reducing pest density. A field experiment was conducted at Research Farm of Tabriz University, Tabriz, Iran during 2014. The experiment was arranged as factorial, based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The first factor was four cropping systems including monocropping of […]

The interference effects of weeds on the yield and yield components in different nitrogen levels in faba bean (Vicia faba)

In order to investigate the effects of nitrogen and weed interference on the yield and yield components in the broad bean plant, an experiment was conducted in 2011 in the split plot form in the randomized complete block design with four replications in the farm of Martyr Salemi, Ahwaz. The main factor included nitrogen in […]
