Effect of seed rate and sowing Date on Faba Bean( Vicia faba.L) growth and its productivity under western region in Homs province


Abstract in English

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.
