SummaryFour growth regulators were tested: N-dimethylaminosuccinamic acid (aminozide); N-pyrrolidinosuccinamic acid (F529); 2-chloroethyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride (JF2579); potassium 2(3-chlorophenylcarbamoyloxy) propionate (JF3072); all shortened stems. JF2579 and JF3072 were phytotoxic and lessened yield. Aminozide and F529 (tested in 1970 only) did not affect yield in 1970 but aminozide increased yield by 28% in 1971. Seed rates and row spacings had small effects on yield which varied with season. Growth regulators did not interact with seed rates or row spacing. Plant density and growth regulators had effects on yield via the number of stems and pods per stem. The effects of season on yield were greater and were caused via 100 grain weight. Speculative hypotheses are suggested to explain the different actions of season and treatments.

SUMMARYThe largest mean responses to nitrogen ranged from 2·1 cwt grain/acre in 1966 (2 cwt N/acre) to 3·6 cwt grain in 1968 (1–5 cwt N/acre). Responses to the largest dressings were increased by dividing them, the increases ranged from 0·2 cwt grain in 1968 to 4·0 cwt grain in 1966.In 1968 1·5 cwt N applied in late May increased grain yield by 5·5 cwt, more than the response to any other amount applied either to the seed bed or as a divided dressing. Removing the growing point of the plant at the 4-leaf stage promoted tillering but lessened yield by 5·4 cwt grain. Removing the growing point of the plant after flowering increased yield by 2·1 cwt grain in 1966 and lessened it by 1·7 cwt grain in 1967.CCC (2-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride) had no visible effect on growth and lessened yield by 1·9 cwt.B9 (N-dimethylaminosuccinamic acid) greatly affected growth and shortened stems by as much as 30%, depending on how much and when it was applied.B9 had inconsistent effects on yield. Without fertilizer nitrogen, it increased yield by 2·5 and 2·6 cwt grain in 1966 and 1968 but decreased it by 2·1 cwt in 1967.The main effects of B9 on the components of yield were to increase the number of stems and pods/acre and lessen 1000 grain weight. Plants given B9 in 1968 produced half a million more grains/acre than untreated plants. 1·5 cwt N had similar effects to B9 on the components of yield in 1968. Stems and pods/acre were increased, but there was also a small increase in 1000 grain weight. Plants given 1·5 cwt N produced half a million more grains/acre than plants not given N. A further1·5 cwt N lessened number of stems/acre but this was more than compensated for by an increased number of pods/stem, leading to a further increase of 160000 grains/acre. The effects of season were large and exceeded the effects of any of the treatments.

Second Peak

SummaryVicia faba cv. Minden was precision planted at densities of 12–100 plants/m2 in 1977 and 30–60 plants/m2 in 1978 with and without seed-bed applications of aldicarb (10 kg/ha).Nitrogenase activity per plant decreased significantly with increased plant density but this was compensated for on an area basis by increased numbers of plants. When expressed on the basis of area, nitrogenase activity was higher with closely, than with widely spaced plants both early and late in the season. Irrespective of planting density nitrogenase activity reached a peak during vegetative growth of the plant and a second peak during rapid pod and seed development. In 1977 the second peak was interrupted by very dry soil conditions but later activity increased following rain.Aldicarb consistently increased nitrogenase activity at all harvests after Sitona damage to the nodules was evident. Over this period plots treated with aldicarb had twice the nitrogenase activity of untreated plots in 1977 and 55% more in 1978.

Pollination And Fertilization

SummaryIncidences of pollination and fertilization were determined and the development of seeds was monitored in spring beans over 2 years. Plant density was varied in the 1st year and irrigation in the 2nd. The incidences of pollination, fertilization and seed development were all independent of plant density. The proportion of ovules that developed as seeds was slightly enhanced in irrigated plots as losses from abortion and from lack of fertilization within fertilized ovaries were both reduced. Autofertility, or spontaneous self-pollination leading to fertilization, led to an increase in the overall incidence of fertilization. Three autofertile stocks were up to 11% more pollinated and fertilized than two partly autofertile ones which, in turn, were up to 20% more than two non-autofertile, long-podded stocks. A closed-flower population was 30% less fertilized than the long pods and was insufficiently autofertile to allow an adequate number of pods to set on the lower flowering nodes. Three stocks, one autofertile, one with terminal inflorescences (ti) and the third with both characters, were subject to particularly high losses of fertilized ovules from abortion, 27–35%, while few ovules, 12% or less, aborted in closed flowers and long pods. Failure of seeds to mature in long pods was associated primarily with the low proportion of ovules fertilized within fertilized flowers, rather than with abortion of the fertilized ovules.

SUMMARYApplying large dressings of fertilizer nitrogen to the seed bed lessened nodulation of spring field beans by as much as 50%.The largest mean responses to broadcast nitrogen ranged from 1·9 cwt grain/acre in 1967 (3 cwt N/acre) to 3·1 cwt grain in 1966 (3 cwt N/acre).About one-sixth of the nitrogen applied to beans was used by a following winter wheat at Rothamsted, one-twelfth at Woburn.The results suggest that there is no prospect for the economic use of fertilizer nitrogen in the seed bed for spring beans.

Effect On Yield

Background: In Tunisia, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is the first major food legume. The development of faba bean production is facing several biotic constraints. Faba bean Ascochyta blight caused by Ascochyta fabae is one of the most destructive diseases of faba bean and can cause significant yield loss under favorable conditions. As only incomplete resistance ABL varieties are available, some agronomic practices should be applied to control and reduce Ascochyta blight incidence wherever possible. Therefore, this work was undertaken to evaluate the effect of spacing row and seed rate on ABL severity, growth and yield of faba bean. Methods: A split-plot design with three replications was adopted to carry out this study during 2018 and 2019 cropping seasons. ‘Bachaar’ faba bean variety was sown at 40 and 60 cm row spacing and at three seed rates (100, 140 and 200 kg ha-1). ABL severity was assessed visually on a 0-9 scale and agro-morphological traits were measured. Analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Correlations between agronomic traits, row spacing, seed rate and ABL severity were investigated. Result: Results showed that seed rate has a larger effect on yield than row spacing. In both cropping seasons, the highest grain yield was recorded in 60 cm row spacing and 140 kg ha-1 seed rate treatment. So, this treatment is recommended for obtaining high yield of faba bean. Most of the variation in disease severity was associated with seed rate (r=0.62). The highest ABL score severity was noted at 200 kg ha-1 rate. Over both years, wide row spacing and low seed rate reduced ABL severity. In this study, the small amounts of ABL disease (which reached a score of 5.3 and 4.7 in 2018 and 2019, respectively) had little or no effect on yield.

SUMMARYStudies were made of the proximate and mineral compositions of modern strains of both spring· and winter-sown beans. The majority of the winter beans were of the Throws M.S. variety, of the spring beans Minors. On the dry-matter basis spring beans averaged 31·4% crude.protein, winter beans 26·5%—a highly significant difference. The true protein values showed a parallel trend. Winter beans averaged 9% crude fibre, spring beans 8%, again a highly significant difference. The strains confirmed the usually accepted levels of oil and of the principal mineral components, except that modern beans appear to be richer in phosphorus.
