Response of three faba bean cultivars to water regime conditions under calcareous soil in north delta [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

A field experiment was carried out at Nubaria Researcb Station during 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 growing seasons, to study the response of three faba been cultivars i.e. Nubarial, Giza 716 and Sakhal to two water regime conditions (one irrigation,35 DAP and two irrigations, 35 and 75 DAP) under calcareous soils Reselted showed that irrigation treatments application bad significant effects on faba bean yields and its components. Two irrigations treatment application significantly increased faba bean seed and straw yields by 27.5 and 21.4%, respectively compared with one irrigation condition. Nubarial cultivarwas superior to both other cultivars Giza 716 and Sakbal, wbere the former one significantly increasedseedyieldper fadden andproteincontent by 17.9, 43.8, 10.2 and 5.0% than thoseof Giza716 and Sakbal, respectively. Planting Nubarial cultivar under two irrigations condition recorded the highest seed (10.92 ardab) and straw (1.95 ton) yields per fadden than those other combinations. The highest value (26.56%) of protein content was obtained by planting Nubarial cultivarunder drought condition(one irrigation,35 DAP).
