Abstract | ||||
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is the most important food legume crop in the world as well as Egypt. Two field experiments were done in the Nubaria region (Latitude: 30° 39' 59.99" N; Longitude: 30° 03' 60.00" E), Alexandria, Egypt, during the winters seasons of 2021–2022, and 2022–2033, to examine how different faba bean varieties respond to three planting dates under drip irrigation.. A split plot design with three replications was used. Planting dates (1st October, 15th October, and 1st November) were allocated in main plots, whereas the three faba bean varieties (Nubaria 1, Giza 716 and Giza 843) were distributed at random within the subplots in both seasons. The results showed that faba bean cultivars responded to the different three dates (1st October, 15th October and 1st November) under study conditions. The results indicated that the studied cultivars significantly differed in most of the studied characteristics such as plant height (cm), number of branches/plant, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod, 100-seed weight (g), biological yield, seed yield (kg/fed), straw yield (kg/fed), harvest index (%), seed protein content (%), pod length, and pod setting %,, also they affected by the sowing dates and their interaction. Finally, the results could be concluded to increase the seed yield/fed and its component of faba bean when planting Nubaria 1 in the middle of October under Nubaria region, Alexandria, Egypt. | ||||
