| Abstract:
This study was conducted to determine the effects of row spacings (30, 50 and 70 cm) on green pod yield and some pod characteristics of Vicia faba L. cv. Eresen-87 and two faba bean lines provided from ICARDA (V7: FLIP 85-172 FB and V9: FLIP 86-116 FB) in Samsun for three consecutive seasons (1997/1998-1999/2000). This trial was planned in split-plot design with three replications. Faba bean cultivar/lines were placed to main plots and row spacing to subplots. Sowing was performed in autumn. In the present study, pod length, width and thickness, pod flesh thickness, pod/plant and green pod yield per hectare were investigated. Green pod yields obtained from Eresen-87 (9.15 t/ha) and V7 line (8.18 t/ha) were not statistically different, but higher than that of V9 (7.73 t/ha). Green pod yield was reduced with increasing row spacings. The narrowest row spacing (30 cm) gave the highest green pod yield (11.64 t/ha) due to higher number of plants per unit area. Green pod yields of 50 and 70 cm row spacings were found 7.61 and 5.81 t/ha, respectively. | |
