Abstract
The present investigation was carried out at the Experimental Farm of Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Agricultural Research Center (ARC), Egypt, during two successive seasons 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 to study the effect of sowing date (1st October, 1st November and 1st December) and irrigation treatments (I1- Sowing irrigation plus one irrigation after 30 days from sowing "DFS", I2- Sowing irrigation plus two irrigations after 30 and 90 DFS and I3- Sowing irrigation plus three irrigations after 30, 90 and 120 DFS) on the performance of some faba bean cultivars (Sakha 1, Sakha 4 and Nubaria 2) , as well as, their interaction on growth, seed yield and its attributes. Each sowing date was performed in separate experiment. Every experiment of sowing dates was carried out in split-plot design with three replications. The main plots were assigned to irrigation treatments and sub-plots were assigned to field bean cultivars. The main results could be summarized as follows:
1- Maximum values of growth characters, plant height, number of branches and biological yield/fed were recorded from early sowing date (1st October). However, the highest numbers seed yield and its components were obtained from intermediate sowing date (1st November).
2- Giving plants sowing irrigation plus two irrigations after 30 and 90 DFS resulted in the highest values of seed yield and its components in both seasons. While, giving plants sowing irrigation plus three irrigations after 30, 90 and 120 DFS recorded the tallest plants and greatest number of branches and biological yield/fed in both seasons.
3- Nubaria 2 cultivar was superior to the other two studied cultivars (Sakha 1 and Sakha 4) in growth characters during both seasons. While, Sakha 4 cultivar exceeded the two other cultivars (Sakha 1 and Nubaria 2) in seed yield and its attributes in both seasons.
It can be recommended that sowing faba bean Sakha 4 cultivar on 1st November and giving plants sowing irrigation plus two irrigations after 30 and 90 DFS to improve faba bean productivity under the environmental conditions of Sakha district, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate.
