Abstract
This research was carried out at EI-Baramoon Horticulture Research Farm, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, during the winter seasons for four years. Sixteen broad bean genotypes, including 15 selected lines and EI-Kassasien 1 cultivar were grown in randomized complete blocks design with three replications. These inbred lines obtained from EI-Khobrosy cultivar after four generations of inbreeding and selection and were evaluated. The differences among means 0 f most tested I ines appeared significance. The results indicated that the strains 8, 7, 3, 11, 12,4 and 2, respectively were superior than check cultivar (EI-Kassasien 1) for the qualitative and quantltallve traits of broad bean crop. The results revealed that the selection pure line within EI- Khobrosy cultivar proved to be effective in separating new promising lines superior of yield and quality. A correlation study indicated that the existence of high positive correlations between total yield and each of No. of pods per plant, and pod weight. On the other hand, total yield gave negative correlation with No. of first pod node in both seasons. All the studied traits, except No. of first pod node were positively correlated with total yield at the two seasons.
