Performance New Entries of Broad Bean Under Supplementary Irrigation Conditions

In this study, (25) new entries of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) were used. Sourced from the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA). The entries seeds (25) were planted in an experiment according to a completely randomized block design with three replications at Al-Tuwaitha Research Station / Plant Breeding and Improvement Center / Agricultural Research Department during the growing season 2021/2022,With the aim of evaluating the entries and selecting the best ones in traits of yield and its components. The results showed that there were significant differences between the averages of the Entries and for all the studied traits, where entry (3) was characterized by the highest number of main stem nodes and the length of the pod. The number of seeds per pod is (26.00, 13.50 and 4.00) respectively, and entry (6) has the highest dry pod yield (132) and the highest seed yield (262). The entry (15) has the highest weight of 100 seeds (285.00) through the variation in the averages of the traits. Its use in breeding programs for selection for high seed yield of broad bean.

Changes in canopy microclimate of faba bean under intercropping at controlled nitrogen levels and their correlation with crop yield.

The relationship between the microclimate of the intercropping faba bean canopy and yield, and its response to nitrogen application, was studied in the crop canopy to clarify that intercropping and nitrogen application changed the microclimate of the faba bean canopy and affected the yield. In field experiments in Eshan and Xundian, the growth index, light transmittance, interception rate of photosynthetic effective radiation, temperature, relative humidity, and yield of the faba bean were determined using three planting methods (wheat monoculture, faba bean monoculture, and wheat-faba bean intercropping) and four nitrogen application levels, N0 (0 kg/hm2 ), N1 (45 kg/hm2 ), N2 (90 kg/hm2 ), and N3 (180 kg/hm2 ). The results showed that the application of nitrogen improved the growth index of monoculture and intercropping broad beans significantly, reduced the canopy light transmittance and temperature significantly, and increased the interception rate and relative humidity of photosynthetic effective radiation significantly. Compared with N0, the yield of broad bean in both places was the highest in N1, which increased by 14% (Eshan) and 15% (Xundian). Multiple linear stepwise regression and path analysis showed that the decrease in canopy light transmittance during the faba bean pod-setting stage and the interception rate of photosynthetic effective radiation during pod-bulging stage, caused by excessive nitrogen application, were the main climatic and ecological factors limiting the increase in the intercropping faba bean yield in Eshan and Xundian respectively. The optimum nitrogen application rate recommended in production is 45kg/hm2 , to reduce the nitrogen application rate and maximize the productivity of the wheat and faba bean system. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Impact of Some Organic Manure with Chemical Fertilizers on Growth, Yield of Broad Bean (&lt;i&gt;Vicia faba&lt;/i&gt; L.) Grown in Newly Cultivated Land

The possibility of improving growth and yield of broad bean (Vicia fabaL.) plants grown in newly cultivated land was conducted during the two successive seasons of 2018 and 2019. For achieving this aim, broad bean plants were fertilized with different rates of organic fertilizers (poultry or farmyard manures) and minerals (NPK). Different growth parameters, chemical constituent and yield were determined in this study. The results indicated that organic fertilized plants achieved higher values of different growth parameters (plant height, number of branches, plant leaf lets blade area and dry weight / plant) and yield and its components (number of pods / plant, no of seeds / pod, weight of seeds / pod, weight of 100 seeds and weight of seeds / plant). The best results were obtained when the plants were fertilized with high rate of poultry manure (8 tons) and NPK fertilizers (50 kg ammonium nitrate 33.5% + 200 kg superphosphate 15.5% + 50 kg potassium Sulphate 48%). The present results also show that the concentration of chlorophyll. A, b, carotenoids, crude proteins, total free amino acids, total carbohydrates, total sugars, reducing sugars an non soluble carbohydrates recorded the higher values in both leaves and seeds of those plants fertilized with either poultry or farmyard manures when compared with those fertilized with NPK. The present study clearly shows that the best effect was recorded by supplying the plants with poultry manure(8 tons + NPK nutrients (50 kg ammonium nitrate 33.5% + 200 kg superphosphate 15.5% + 50 kg potassium Sulphate 48%).

Response of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) to different depths of tillage and spraying with yeast extract

Field experiment was conducted during the growing season of 2017–18 in Basra governorate to study the effect of three tillage depth “TD” (30, 40 and 50 cm), and spraying with three activated yeast extract “AYE” concentrations (zero, 4 and 8 g/l) on growth and yield of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) var. loz de onito. The experiment was carried out in a split-plot arranged with randomized complete block design with three replicates. The results showed that TD of 50 cm led to an increase in plant height, number of branches in plant, also led to a significant increase in the number of pods and number of seeds in pod by 26 and 21%, respectively, compared to the TD of 30 cm, also held green pods yield of 327.2 g/plant at TD of 30 cm increased to 547.5 g/plant at 50 cm depth. Spraying AYE at 8 g/l resulted in a significant increase for all traits that have been studied, among these traits number of pods/plant and number of seeds/pod by 16 and 22%, respectively, compared to control. The interaction gave a significant increase for plant height and green pods yield per plant, so the TD at 50 cm and 8 g/l AYE gave the highest values.

Effect of spraying time and concentration of liquid fertilizer on the growth and yield of broad bean (Vicia faba L.)

A field experiment was conducted in autumn season of 2018–19 at farmers’ field in Azzawi area of Babil province in Iraq. The experiment was conducted in split-split plot randomized complete block design. The treatment combinations consisting of two broad bean varieties viz., V1 (LUZ De Otono) and V2 (Aqaudulce), three dates of liquid fertilizer spray i. e. D1(15th November, 2018), D2(15th December, 2018) and D3(15th January, 2019) and three concentrations of liquid fertilizers i. e. F0(No spray, control), F1(10 mg/l) and F2 (20 mg/l) were allotted in experimental plots with complete randomization. The growth and yield parameters of faba bean were significantly affected by varieties, liquid fertilizer application time and concentration. The number of pods per plant significantly increased from 15.73 under F0 treatment of liquid fertilizer spray concentration to 27.22 pods per plant under F3 spray concentration. The weight of 100 seeds significantly increased from 52.43 g in V2 variety under F0 treatment of liquid fertilizer spray concentration to 85.17 g under F2 treatment in V1 variety. The seed yield per plant significantly increased from 47.63 g under F0 liquid fertilizer spray concentration to 59.49 g under F3 treatment. The protein content in seed of faba bean significantly increased from 22.91% under F0 liquid fertilizer spray concentration to 23.71% under F2 treatment. On the basis of these results, it is recommended that faba bean variety LUZ De Otono can be grown successfully in Azzawi area of Babil province in Iraq.

Application of Optimum N Through Different Fertilizers Alleviate NH4+-N, NO3–N and Total Nitrogen Losses in the Surface Runoff and Leached Water and Improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Rice Crop in Erhai Lake Basin, China

ABSTRACTNon-point source pollution from the Agri-sector (especially nitrogen (N)) due to the application of conventional urea with heavy rates not only depleted the water quality of Erhai Lake but also declined the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of different crops grown in the Erhai Lake Basin, Dali, Yunnan, China. It is imperative to mitigate the total nitrogen and its forms (nitrate (NO3−)-N and ammonium (NH4+)-N) loading to the surface and subsurface water flow through optimum fertilizer management for crop production in the region. To achieve this goal, a balanced crop nutrition system was practiced with different fertilizer types for rice-broad bean crop rotation system. The crop nutrition system consisted of No Fertilizers (CK), Conventional Fertilizer Practice (CF), Conventional urea as environmental Fertilizer (T1), Refined Organic Fertilizer applied solely (T2), Refined Organic Fertilizer applied with conventional urea (T3), Refined Organic Fertilizer applied in T2 was increased 4 times (T4), Refined Organic Fertilizer applied in T3 was increased 4 times but the same amount of conventional urea (T5), and Controlled Release Fertilizer (CRF) application (T6). The same rate of nitrogen (20% lower than CF) was applied in T1, T2, T3, and T6. All the former mentioned treatments were compared to CF with respect to different variables. In case of crop production, T6 gave maximum rice grain yield (9.9 t ha−1) and broad bean yield (5.1 t ha−1). Treatments T1 and T5 were at par for rice grain yield (7.8 t ha−1) and this quantity was not significantly lower than CF. Treatments T6, T5, and T1 were observed 29%, 47%, and 46%, respectively lower in TN loading to the surface and percolating water than the CF. Conventional urea and refined organic fertilizer combined with conventional urea at reduced nitrogen rates can be a reliable option for crop production in the Erhai Lake Basin with optimum yield under the rice-broad bean crop rotation system. CRF at reduced nitrogen rate can be a better option for higher yield and lower NO3–N, NH4+-N and total nitrogen losses to the surface runoff and leached water.

Effect of planting distances and Humic Acid application on some vegetative growth and yield of Broad bean (Vicia faba L. var. Somar) in outdoor condition

The seeds of the Somar variety (local production) were planted in mid of October (after being soaked with water for 16 hours) in panels 1.5 x 2 meters. Broad bean (Vicia faba var. Somar) was studied in outdoor to determine the effect of three planting distances (20, 25 and 30 cm), four different Humic Acid (HA) concentration doses (zero, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5) ml / liter H2O, with three replicates on some of the plant’s vegetative and yield traits; Plant Height (cm), Plant Diffusion (cm), Number of Branches /Plant, Number of Flowers / Plant, Number of Pods / Plant, % percentage of Pods Set, Total Pods Yield /plant (gm), Pod Weight (gm). The (HA) were added by spray way directly to the top of the soil with two applications, the first after 3 weeks from complete germination, while the second after branching immediately. The experiment was designed as Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Based on Total pods yield / plant (gm), the best interaction between the plant distance and different concentration of (HA) was a combination of the planting distance 30 cm, and treated the soil with 3.0 ml/ literH2O.

THE ROLE OF BROAD BEAN AND ONOION INTERCROPPING ON PRODUCTIVITY OF BOTH CROPS AND NITROGEN BUDGET IN SOIL

A field experiment was conducted at the College of Physical Education &amp; Sport Science-University of Baghdad /Jaderiea fields at 2015-2016 season, to study the effect of planting Broad bean and onion either in monoculture or intercropped (bicultural ) interacted with three levels of nitrogen (0,40,and 80 kg N ha-1) on growth and productivity of both crops ,amount of N taken up and on nitrogen budget in a split plot experiment within RCBD in three replicates . Nitrogen application especially 2nd level (80 kg N ha-1) significantly increased growth and yield of Broad bean . Yield of fresh pods increased from 1.36 kg plant-1 at control to 1.74 kg plant-1 with N2. Nitrogen application at 80 kg N ha-1 increased the uptake (content) of nitrogen by 245.11% compared to control. Nitrogen application especially 2nd level (80 kg N ha-1) significantly increased growth and yield of Onion. Fresh weight of onion bulbs increased from 27.3 to 37.2 and dry weight from 17.8 to 22.8 g plant-1 due to the application of the 2nd level of nitrogen. Nitrogen application at 80 kg N ha-1 increased the uptake (content) of nitrogen in onion. Planting Broad bean in monoculture gave better results than bicultural with Onion. However, yield of Broad bean was reasonable in both cultures due to the ability of Broad bean crop for competition with Onion. Monoculture of Onion gave better results than bicultural. In spite of the low production of Onion in bicultural but two crops can be gained at the same field. Results of nitrogen budget revealed that the budget was surplus with Broad bean as a result of N fixation and in shortage with Onion.

INFLUENCE OF ORGANIC AND BIO CONDITIONERS ON CALCAREOUS SOIL PROPERTIES AND YIELD OF BROAD BEAN PLANT

A field experiment was conducted on calcareous soil at El- Nubaria (private farm at the 10,000 Fed Village), El- Behera Governorate for two successive winter seasons (2015- 2016) and (2016- 2017) . Broad bean plant ( Vicia faba . Nubaria 1) was used as a tested plant to study the efficiency of some conditioners, compost (town refuse), potassium humate as organic and Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. Viceae strain ICARDA 441 as bio fertilizers on some calcareous soil properties and yield of broad bean. The treatments were: A-The cultivation methods (row and strew). B-The conditioners: organic (compost 10 ton fed-1 and potassium humate 15 L fed-1) and bio (Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae strain ICARDA 441). Results indicated that, EC, pH and CaCO3 % of the studied soil were decreased, where OM was increased as a result of using both organic and bio conditioners compared to the control treatment. An improvement in soil physical properties as affected by soil conditioners was observed. Wherever a slight decreased soil bulk density (BD), an increase in total porosity (TP) and soil aggregation as dry and wet stable aggregates at using organic conditioners than biofertilizer were occurred. As well as soil hydraulic conductivity (HC) and moisture content at both field capacity (FC) and available water (AW) were increased compared to the control. Town refuse compost application achieved the highest biological, grain yield and 100 grains weight of broad bean plant followed by potassium humate treatment. Generally, the different soil properties and crop yield of broad bean plant grown on calcareous soil was more affected by the row cultivation method, town refuse compost and potassium humate, than bio fertilizer addition compared to the control.

Influence of increased temperature on the yield and quality of broad bean in semiarid regions of northwest China

In this study, a simulation experiment by farm warming with infrared ray radiator was carried out, and results showed that the broad bean (Vicia faba L.) growing days were shortened by increased temperature. The seedling, ramifying, budding, blooming, podding, and maturing stages were shortened by 1–4, 1–2, 1, 2–3, 1–2, and 2–4 days, respectively, and the whole growing period was shortened by 7–16 days when the temperature increased by 0.5–2.0°C. The broad bean yield increased by 10.1–16.6% when the temperature increased by 0.5–1.0°C, and significantly decreased by 38.1–90.1% when the temperature increased by 1.5–2.0°C.
