Abstract

Two field experiments, were conducted during 2002/2003, 2003/2004 at Awish El-Hagar village, Mansoura city, Dakahlia Governorate to study the effect of irrigation frequency (one, two and three irrigations besides to sowing irrigation), nitrogen fertilization (0, 25 and 50 kg N/fed.) and their interaction on growth, mineral composition, yield and its components of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) plants.
The results summarized as follows :
(1) Increasing watering number from one to three resulted in significant responses and increments in all growth characters, N, P and K concentration of leaves, number of pods /plant, pod diameter, pod yield / plant and total yield / fed. of broad bean plants during the two seasons.
           There was no satisfactory  differences in pod yields between two and three irrigation treatments.
(2) Increasing N rate from 0 up to 50 kg N/fed. significantly increased tillering, and dry matter accumulation potential, also mineral concentration, pod yield and its components in the two seasons. The results prove also, the importance of N fertilization and insufficienty of the fixed nitrogen for optimum performances and maximum yield for broad bean.
(3) In similar trend, the interaction gave significant effects on the whole performances of broad bean plants, during both seasons.
            The present study concluded that, for obtaining the best growth, mineral concentration and maximum productivity of broad bean crop, it could be fertilized with nitrogen 50 kg N /fed. and irrigated two times (just before the beginning of flowering and at the beginning of pod formation) after sowing irrigation.
