Effect of gibbereillic acid, amino acids and boron on the growth attributes, yield and its components and chemical composition of faba bean [electronic resource].

Includes references.

The current work was conducted in 2009/2010 and 2010/ 2011 seasons at the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, (Saba Basha) Alexandria University at Abees - Alexandria Egypt to study the effect of gibbereillic acid, amino acid and boron on growth yield, its components and chemical composition of faba bean plants. The experimental design was split - split plot with three replicates. The main plots were assigned to three boron fertilizer levels (0, 100 and 200 mg / L) and three levels of amino acid spraying (0, 100 and 200 mg / L) were randomly distributed to sub plots. Whereas, the sub- sub plots were represented by three Gibbereillic acid applications (0, 100 and 200 mg/L). The obtained data showed that plant height, number of branches/plant, dry matter accumulation, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/plant, 100- seed weight, straw and seed yields/fed, and N, P, K contents in seeds increased by application of boron at 200 mg/L.
