Field and laboratory experiments were conducted at Gemmeiza Agric. Res. Station and Mansoura Seed Tech. Unit, Agricultural Research Center during 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 seasons to evaluate promising ten faba bean genotypes with three commercial cultivars; Giza 843, Misr 1 and Improved Giza 3. The main results cleared, Genotype 9 was the earliest in flowering and maturity dates. Genotypes 1 ,3,5 and 8 surpassed in number of pods/plant and number of seeds/plant. Genotypes 4,1,8 and 3 surpassed the other genotypes in 100-seed weight, seed weight/plant, germination percentage, seedlings vigor traits, meanwhile, recorded the lowest values for mean germination time and electrical conductivity compared with the three local commercial cultivars.
