Abstract

SummaryA key is presented to describe stages of development of the faba bean (Vicia faba), and is based on similar principles to the key for peas (Pisum sativum) (Knott, 1987). The coded description is divided into five principal stages; germination and emergence, vegetative, reproductive, pod senescence and stem senescence. These are sub‐divided into secondary stages. The practical use of the key is discussed with reference to timing of crop husbandry operations.
