The present investigation aims to study the intraspecific diversity of thirteen faba bean genotypes (Vicia faba L. 2n=12) and to determine some selection criteria for plant breeding. Five yield parameters were studied: plant height (H), branch number per plant (BN/Pl), pod number per plant (PN/Pl), seed number per pod (SN/P) and yield per plant (Y/Pl). With a few exceptions, significant variabi...

Eight faba bean (Vicia faba L.) genotypes were grown at lowlands of the west-Mediterranean region of Turkey in order to estimate the broad-sense heritability for plant height, number of stems and pods per plant, seed yield, biological yield, 100-seed weight, days to flowering and maturity. The heritability for plant height, number of stems and pods per plant, seed yield, biological yield, 100-s...

in order to evaluate the yield and advantage of two- and three-species intercropping of sunflower with corn and soybean, an experiment was conducted at the research farm of faculty of agriculture of tabriz university in tabriz, iran 2011. the experiment was arranged based on randomized completely block design with 6 treatments and three replications. treatments were included the pure stand of s...

in order to investigate the effects of row intercropping of bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) with borage (borago officinalis l.) on its ecological characteristics such as weed and insect diversity, composition and density and their yield and evaluating of the best strip width, a field experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural rese...

introduction intercropping is an old and widespread practice used in low input cropping systems in many areas of the world. in fact, intercropping is claimed to be one of the most significant cropping techniques in sustainable agriculture, and many researches and reviews attribute its utilization to the number of environmental benefits from promoting land biodiversity to diversifying agricultur...

in order to study on effect of plant density and nitrogen on yield and yield components of visia faba (faba bean), the experimental design was implemented by randomized complete block with three replications at 2010- 2011 in lahijan. the experimental factors were three plant density (25×25 cm, 35×35 cm and 45×45 cm) and four nitrogen fertilizer (0, 20, 40, 60 kg ha-1). in this experiment, featu...

eight faba bean genotypes and one local (barkat) as control were evaluated for three successive years (2000-2003) in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications at gorgan agricultural research station. this study was carried out to determine the morphological traits, yield components and yield stability to select the best genotypes. simple and combined analysis of variance ...

A reliable regeneration system for faba bean has been difficult to establish and therefore, the genetic improvement of Vicia faba L. was delayed. The paper describes a method of somatic embryo induction in callus of V. faba. Two Egyptian faba bean cultivars 'Giza 2' and '24 Hyto' were used. Callus was induced from epicotyls and shoot tips cultured on MS or Gamborg medium supplemented with 3% su...
