| A-two experiments were conducted at Sakha Agricultural Research Station during the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 seasons to assess the effect of different control methods on broomrape infestation in some faba bean cultivars to improve seed yield and net return in areas with high levels of broomrape infestation. The study involved combining four faba bean cultivars (Misr 3, Misr 1, Giza 843 and Sakha4) with four control methods (glyphosate twice, glyphosate once + bio-fertilizer once, bio-fertilizer twice, and untreated control), arranged in a split-plot design with three replications. The cultivars were randomly assigned to the main plots, while control methods were allocated in sub plots. Misr 1 and Misr 3 faba bean cultivars showed better tolerance to broomrape infestation fouled by Giza 843, as compared to Sakha 4. Using glyphosate once + bio-fertilizer once and glyphosate at a twice resulted in lower broomrape spike numbers and weights per m2 compared to other treatments. Misr 3 and Misr 1 cultivars also showed higher seed yield and yield components compared to other cultivars. Application glyphosate once +bio-fertilizer once resulted in number of pods per plant, seed yield per plant, and seed yield per hectare compared to other control methods. Application with glyphosate once +bio-fertilizer once resulted in higher seed yield and yield components for Misr 3 and Misr 1 compared to other treatments. There was a high negative correlation between the number and dry weight of broomrape spikes per m2, and each of the number of pods per plant, seed yield per plant, and seed yield per hectare. Misr 3 and Misr 1 showed the highest profitability with the application of glyphosate once and bio-fertilizer once. Growing faba bean cultivars Misr 3 and Misr 1 with application of application with glyphosate once + bio-fertilizer once reduced number and dry weight of broomrape spikes and improved their yields achieving higher profitability under naturally infested soil with broomrape. | ||||
