| Abstract | ||||
| Twenty-seven diversity faba bean (Vicia faba L.) genotypes were used to explore the potentiality of these genotypes and to investigate caging effects. The influence of insect free cage on performance of different studied characters was estimated as percentages of the insect free cage values to their corresponding open field ones. Results indicated that caged grown plants were taller, and produced lesser number of branches. The caged plants produced lower number of pods, seeds and seed yield/plant comparing genotypes under open field. In general all characters were more depressed by caging except flowering and ripening as well as plant height. High heritability values in broad sense were detected under open field and caged conditions for plant height, number of pods and 100-seed weight . | ||||
