Abstract | ||||
The house sparrow, Passer domesticus niloticus (L.), caused a damage of the field crops in all growth stages. The present work is an attempt to study. The relationship between the damage and the distances of the cultivated broad bean plants. The obtained results revealed that insignificant differences were found between the three cultivars of broad bean in both seasons. On the other side, significant differences were observed between the damage caused by house sparrow in the planted distances of 10 cm. as compared with the damage at 30 cm distance. While the lowest damage was observed at 20 cm. The house sparrow preferred Misr-1 cultivar more than the other ones. This may be due to the highest content of protein in this cultivar. | ||||
