Abstract
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. There were positively and highly significant correlations between seed weight/plant and each of number of seed/plant, germination percentage, seedling length, seedling vigor index and germination rate, while, negatively and highly significant correlations between seed weight/plant both of electrical conductivity and mean germination time. Generally, under North Egypt conditions, we can sowing promising faba bean genotypes 4,1,8 and 3 (G.461xG.402, G.461x Nubaria 1H.8xG.461 and G.716xG.402) to obtain high yield/plant and good seed quality as well as using them in breeding program.
