An assessment of nine vicia faba genotypes (flip84-59fb, AGUADOLCE LB 1266
SML, FLIP84-14FB, GIZE.461, REINA BLANCA, autochthon, Spanish, and Cypriotes)
was achieved, during 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons, in Al_Bassa farm, near Lattakia
city. Su
perior genotypes will be adopted as a high yield improved varieties in that area,
however, the other genotypes (possessing genetic characteristics, superior of local
genotypes), will be used in future breeding programs.
The results indicated a significant differences between studied characteristics of the
genotypes, as Spanish genotype recorded the best pod length (17.16cm), having high
degree of inheritance (68.24), followed by filp84-59fb genotype (15.1 cm), with weight
seeds per pod (33.6 g), having high degree of inheritance (68.45), followed by the Cypriot
genotype, by seed weight (14.66 g), number of pod (4.6), having low degree of inheritance
(23.53), followed by Cyprian autochtone genotype, and Aguadolce.lb1266,and filip84 -
14fb number of pod (3.6).
The Cypriot genotype was the best, in terms of pod weight (23:43 g), having high
degree of inheritance (76.45) followed by Spanish (20.63g), and seed weight (3.93g),
having medium degree of inheritance (54.82), followed by style filip84-59fb (3.73 g), and
100-seed weight (4.1g), having high degree of inheritance (97.49), followed by Aguadolce
genotypes (285 g).
The SML genotype is the best among premature genotypes in terms of flowering (46 days)
and maturity (148 days), followed by Cypriot in terms of flowering (51 days) and flip84-
59fb in terms of maturity (155 days)
This research was carried out during 2009/2010 growing season in
swiri region which locates about 30 Km at the west of Homs city ,
located in the first stability region where the annual precipitation is
about 400 mm .
One cultivars of faba (Vicia
faba) was sown on three seeds rate
(high seed rate 220 kg/h – medium seed rate 185 kg/h – low seed
rate 150 kg/h) and three sowing date (15/11 – 30/11 – 15-12 ) 2009.
