Abstract in English
This study was conducted at AL-buyarat AL-garbya, west Palmyra during
2010/ 2011 and 2011/2012 growing seasons to determine the optimum date and
plant density for sowing two faba bean varieties. The studied factors were two
sowing dates (15/10 and 5/11), plant densities (16.7 and 11.1 plants/m2) and two
varieties of faba bean (kobrusi and Hama1). Results showed that sowing on
early date 15/10 resulted in increasing plant height, number of branches/plant
and pod length as compared with 5/11 sowing date.
