ABSTRACT
Two field experiment were conducted at Sadat region, Minufiya Governorate, Egypt during 2020 – 2021 and 2021-2022 seasons , to study allelopathic influence of inter-cropping system five teen with faba bean on broomrape control, yield and its components under naturally infested soil conditions. Results indicated that the differences between inter-cropping systems for broomrape and faba been traits were significant in the two season. The values best for broomrape, spikes number / m², fresh weight /m² and dry weight /m² were obtained from faba bean + radish inter-cropping system followed by faba bean + fenugreek , then faba bean + flax inter-cropping system respectively, while, the values best for faba bean traits, branch number / plant, pods number / plant, seed number/plant and seed yield / fed. were obtained from the same inter-cropping systems compared with sole faba bean. From the previous results show that faba bean with all inter-cropping especially, radish , fenugreek or flax decrees broomrape traits increase faba bean yield, its components and land equivalent ratio under naturally infested soil conditions, compared with sole faba bean system in sandy soils.
Key words: Fab bean, broomrape, inter-cropping, Radish Fenugreek Flax, Lupin, wheat, Barley and lentil.
