“…Soil at TCA was an Ochreptic Haploxeralf, a deeper soil with higher organic matter content due to its volcanic origin (Table 1). The pH of the three soils was within the range adequate for broad bean growth (Loos and Siddique, 1997). None of the soils at the study locations had important restrictions to grow this species.…”

Broad bean (Vicia faba L. [unranked] major (Harz) Beck) is usually consumed dry. In Chile, however, broad bean is grown as a vegetable crop with indeterminate genotypes. The new 'Alargá', 'Retaca' and 'Verde Bonita' broad bean genotypes, which have a determinate growth habit, were evaluated in six irrigated environments in central Chile at three locations (Rancagua, Talca, and Talagante) and on two planting dates (F1 and F2; 1-mo apart). The aim was to characterize their yield and select the best-yielding genotypes in terms of pod yield (PY) and fresh grain yield (GY). The best location(s) to produce fresh pods and fresh grain were also identified and described. Fresh grain yield and components were measured and the genotype × environment interaction (G×E) was analyzed. Pod yield differed among genotypes; 'Verde Bonita' and 'Retaca' had the highest PY (15 500 kg ha -1 , 8% higher than 'Alargá'). There was a G×E interaction for GY and 'Retaca' had its highest yield in Talca on the two planting dates and in Rancagua when planted late (F2). Mean GY of 'Retaca' was 3900 kg ha -1 with the highest number of grains per 1 m 2 (NG). The best GY was related to a higher seasonal photothermal quotient (ranging from 1.15 to 1.82 MJ m -2 d -1 °C -1 , r = 0.90, P ≤ 0.001). The lowest GY was in Talagante on F1. Genotypes differed in yield composition; 'Retaca' had many small pods giving many seeds per unit area and 'Verde Bonita' had large pods yielding fewer grains per unit area. The 'Retaca' genotype is preferred by the frozen broad bean industry, whereas 'Verde Bonita' is preferred by the fresh broad bean market.

“…Yield in faba bean, similar to the other crops, is a complex trait and constitute by many of morphological and physiological traits that correlated each other. Plant height, number of stems and pods per plant, biological yield, harvest index, 100-seed weight, days to flowering and maturity are the most important traits in faba bean improvement for increasing seed yield due to direct and indirect correlation with seed yield (Loss and Siddique, 1997) The genetic improvement of crop desired traits depends on the nature and magnitude of genetic variability and interactions involved in the inheritance of these traits which can be estimated using experimental design techniques. Many researchers studied heritability for seed yield, yield components and the other agro-morphological traits in faba bean.…”

An investigation was carried out to select the most successful faba bean genotype(s) and to estimate the heritability for seed yield and some of agro-morphological traits. The results of analysis of variance indicated that the studied genotypes differed significantly for all of the traits. For 100-seed weight, two north's of Iran landraces (G1 and G2) and two improved breeding cultivars containing France (G4) and Barrakat (G10) possessed the heaviest seed weight, 161.33, 139, 119.67 and 166 g, respectively. G1 and G10 presented the highest values for dry seed weight (473.98 and 495.44 g m -2 , respectively). G1 and G10 showed significantly higher magnitude values of the other traits. Broad sense heritability (h 2 ) estimates were generally high to moderate for all of the studied traits. The highest estimates of broad sense heritability was inscribed as 98 % for pod length, dry seed length and dry seed width and 0.95 for hundred seed weight. The estimated broad-sense heritability was 0.80 for dry seed yield per m 2 . These results suggested that the environmental factors had a small effect on the inheritance of traits with high heritability. High estimates of heritability indicated that selection based on mean would be successful in improving of these traits. High heritability indicate an additive gene action for the traits, and hence, possible trait improvement through selection. Path coefficient analysis indicated that the traits containing day to harvesting, pod length, hundred seed weight and number of stems per plant play major role in seed yield determination of faba bean. Attention should be paid to these characters for augmentation of seed yield and these traits could be used as selection criteria in faba bean breeding programs. These findings indicate that selection for each or full of the above traits would be accompanied by high yielding ability under such conditions.

Rezultati dobljeni z analizo variance so pokazali, da se vsi obravnavani genotipi značilno razlikujejo v vseh proučevanih lastnostih.

Genotipa G1 in G10 sta imela največjo maso suhih semen na enoto površine (473.98 in 495.44 g m -2 ). Ista genotipa sta izkazala tudi večje vrednosti pri drugih analiziranih lastnostih. Ocene dednostnega deleža v širšem smislu (h 2 ) so bile na splošno velike do zmerne za vse analizirane lastnosti.

“…Soil water deficits that occur during the reproductive growth are considered to have the most adverse effect on crop yield (Costa-Franca et al, 2000;Baigorri et al, 1999). Several studies have shown that water deficits imposed during the reproductive development of dry beans can decrease the number of flowers, pods and number of seeds per pod (Xia, 1997;Loss & Siddique, 1997). The total number of flowers in some varieties may be reduced up to 47% under drought conditions affecting the number of pods per plant.…”

Soil water deficits may affect the location and pattern of flower and pod production on different stem axes of a bean plant. The objective of this study was to understand the effect of drought stress on the distribution of flowers and pods on the main stem and on branches of bean plants. The experiment was conducted in a shelter field facility. Water stress was imposed from the end of the vegetative stage to physiological maturity and soil water was measured with a neutron probe every two weeks. Formation of flowers at each node of the main stem was monitored at 44 days after planting (DAP) and formation of pods at 55DAP and 65 DAP. Dry weight of stems and leaves as well leaf area were measured during the middle of the pod filling stage (55DAP). The total number of flowers reached maxima of 32 and 44 flowers per plant for the drought and irrigated treatments, respectively. Number of flowers on branches decreased 50% in the stress treatment when compared to the control. Pod setting was also reduced on the branches of the lower nodes of the main stems. Under drought, the leaf area diminished by 60.1% and 10.4% on branches and main stem, respectively. The field drought conditions of this experiment had a greater effect on the vegetative and reproductive growth of branches as compared to the main stem affecting the final yield. Key words: dry beans, soil water, flowers, pod setting, branches STRESS HÍDRICO E A DISTRIBUIÇÃO DE CARACTERÍSTICAS VEGETATIVAS E REPRODUTIVAS DE UM CULTIVAR DE FEIJÃORESUMO: Défices de água no solo podem afetar a localização e o padrão de produção de flores e vagens em diferentes ramos de uma planta de feijão. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de compreender o efeito do stress hídrico na distribuição de flores e de vagens no tronco principal e nos ramos de plantas de feijão. O experimento foi conduzido em ambiente controlado. O Stress hídrico foi imposto a partir do fim do estágio vegetativo até a maturidade fisiológica e a umidade do solo foi medida por meio de sondas de nêutrons à cada duas semanas. A formação de flores em cada nó do ramo principal foi monitorada aos 44 dias após semeadura (DAP), na formação de vagens aos 55 DAP e a 65 DAP. Mediu-se o peso seco de ramos e folhas, bem como área foliar, no estádio de enchimento de grãos (55 DAP). O número total de flores alcançou os máximos de 32 e 44 flores por planta para os tratamentos com stress e irrigado, respectivamente. O número de flores em ramos decresceu de 50% no tratamento de stress, em relação ao controle. O pegamento de vagens foi também reduzido nos ramos dos nós mais baixos do tronco central. Sob falta d'água a área foliar diminuiu de 60.1% a 10.4% em ramos e tronco principal, respectivamente. As condições de stress hídrico neste experimento tiveram um efeito maior nos crescimento vegetativo e reprodutivo dos ramos, em comparação com o tronco principal, afetando a produção final.
