Abstract

Plant population density plays an important role on crop growth and yield as response to light penetration and photosynthesis rate. A field experiment was carried out at Sids Research Station, Agricultural Research Center (ARC), during two successive winter seasons, of 2012/13 and 2013/14. The objectives of this investigation was aimed to evaluate five faba bean genotypes namely Nubaria 1(large seeded cultivar), Giza 429, line 43130, E.19 (medium seeded types) in addition to the small seeded type Camolina. Plant densities were; a) 8 plants/m2 planted in single seeded hills spaced 20 cm on one side of 60 cm wide ridges, b) 17 plants/m2 planted in double seeded hills spaced 20 cm on one side of the ridges, c) 17 plants/m2 planted in single seeded hills spaced 20 cm on both sides of the ridges and d) 33 plants/m2 planted in double seeded hills spaced 20 cm on both sides of the ridges. Results indicated that, faba bean genotypes were significantly different in all studied characters. Nubaria 1 and E.19 genotypes had the tallest plants, respectively. The highest seed yield per feddan was obtained from Nubaria 1 cultivar, while the medium seeded line L-43130 produced the lowest seed yield per feddan over both seasons. Giza 429 (medium seeded cultivar) followed by Nubaria 1. Plant population of 17 plants/m2 in single seeded hills on both sides of the ridges produced highest seed yield per feddan over all genotypes. Concerning to the interaction between plant populations and faba bean genotypes, highest seed yield per feddan was obtained from the large seeded cultivar Nubaria 1 under the low plant population (8 plants/m2), while the medium seeded types i.e. Giza 429, L-43130 and E19 were more yielding under the third plant population (17 plants/m2 on both sides of the ridge). On the other hand, the small seed type Camolina produced highest seed yield per feddan under the high plant population (33 plants/m2). The interaction between faba bean genotypes and plant population had significant effects on all studied characters except number of days to flowering.
