Comparison of Productivity and Physiological Traits of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Varieties under Conditions of Boreal Climatic Zone

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the physiological traits, productivity, seed quality of nine faba bean varieties grown in a field trial under Boreal climate conditions. A two-factor experiment was laid out split-plot design: The seeds main plots were sown treated with fungicide (SF) untreated (without SF) (factor A). sub-plots assigned B). traits significantly varied among varieties, behavior differed between two growing seasons. values for Julia Boxer surpassed mean wet conditions, while trait Fuego Bioro conditions lack moisture. Fungicidal treatment had negligible effect on it significant negative influence leaf area index at beginning flowering stage. SF noticeable yield only Nida DS Fuego. findings revealed that Isabell most suitable cultivation zone as they distinguished from other tested ones by highest yields.
