Eight faba bean genotypes (Wore faba, L.) re. Sakha 1, Sakha 2, Nubaria l,
Giza 461, Giza 716, Giza 714‘ Giza Planka and Giza 3 were evaluated at the Tag El.-
Ezz Research Station. Dalthlia Governorate during 2002/2003 and 2003I'2004 winter
growing seasons. using two sowing dates The mean performance. phenotypic
stability and interrelationship between various characters were computed usmg
Eberhan and Russel (1966} formulae The studied characters were, plant height,
number of branchesfplant number of podslplant, number of seedsrpod, lOO-seed
weight and seed yieldiplant. Results indicated that significant genotype X
environments and the variance due to genotypes X cultivars (linear) for plant height,
number of seedslpod. too-seed weight and seed yieldlplant. Significant genotype X
environments interactions and the variance due to genotypes and environments were
significant for all characters. Tne correlation coefficient between mean performance
and coefficient of variance (C.V.l were in5ignificant for all studied characters. The
cuitivars Giza 3 and Sakha 'i appeared to be performed well under fluctuating
environment pond-lions for seed yieldrplant Positive and significant correlation

slant height and between number of seedslplant with both of number of branches and
podsfplant.
These results coupled with stability parameter “b" are of great importance of
bread h:gh yielding of faba bean and more stable varieties
