Effect of plant density and biofertilization on the productivity and technological traits of some faba bean cultivars (Vicia Faba, L.) [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Two field experiments were carned out at the Expenmental Station Farm of Faculty of Agriculture (Saba Basha) Alexandna University, Egypt dunng 2005/06 and 2006/07 growing seasons,to investIgate the effect of three plant densities (70000, 105000 and 140000 plant I ted ) and Biofertilizatlon treatments (without biofertilizatlon as control; 90 kg superphosphate Ifed, phosphonne + 30 kg superphosphate Ifed, VA-mycorrhlzae and mixed phosphorine + VA-mycorrhlzae) on yield and Yield components of two faba bean cultivars (Giza 461 and Sakha 1) a Spilt, split plot deSign with three replications was used In this study Increasing plant (jensity (70000 105000 and 140000 plant I fed) caused a slgnificor.'. decrease in plant height , number of brancnes plant . number of pods I plant , seed Yield ( ardab I fed ),seed yield / plant (gm)straw Yield ( ton! fed) and some chemical contents of seeds. However, most traits under study increased significantly due to inoculation treatment with VA-mycorrhlzae which more effective in increasing seed yield and its attributes as we!1 as chemical constituents
