| Abstract | ||||
| The present experiment was carried out in the Vegetable Research farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University, Assiut, during two seasons of 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 to estimate mainly the yield of six new broad bean genotypes (Roomy 3, Roomy 5, Roomy 12, Roomy 13, Roomy 80 and Roomy 101) grown under three planting population per hill (one, two and three seeds per hill). Roomy 5 genotype produced higher weights of green pods and green seeds per plant and supported the highest total fresh yield. High plant density (three seeds/ hill) gave the tallest plants and the highest total green yield. On the other hand, low planting density (one seed/ hill) increased the number of tillers per plant and decreased the total green yield per feddan. Results of storage experiment showed that differences in the weight loss percentage among all broad bean genotypes were observed at period of storage. | ||||
