Abstract

Field experiment was conduct in the experimental farm of Etay Al-Baroud Agricultural Research Station, Agricultural Research Center, El-Beheira Governorate, Egypt., during the two growing seasons of 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 on faba bean variety Giza 716. The current field study aimed to investigate the effect of different sowing dates (1st October, 20th October and 10th November (and their combination with the foliar spraying applications of calcium-boron (once, twice and three times compared with control). For this purpose, an experiment layout in a split-plot design in three replicates was used. Sowing dates were placed in the main plots and the times of calcium-boron foliar application were randomly distributed in the sub-plots. The results indicated that sowing date 10th November increased plant heights, pods number/plant, 100-seeds weight, seed yield/fed, seeds content of total protein and seed content of boron in both seasons. Faba bean plants that sprayed three times with calcium-boron recorded the highest plant height, pods number/plant, 100-seeds weight, seed yield/fed, seeds content of total protein, calcium and boron in both seasons. The interaction effect between the sowing date and spraying applications of calcium-boron significantly affected vegetating growth character seed yield and seed quality in both seasons. It could be recommended to sowing faba beans during November with spraying with calcium-boron three times to obtain the highest yield and seed quality in the Delta region.
