In a study involving three sites in western Canada, residues of the herbicides metribuzin and trifluralin in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) were monitored by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection following pre-plant incorporation of tank mixtures of metribuzin plus trifluralin at (0.28 + 1.12) and (0.42 + 1.12) kg ha–1. In green foliage samples collected 40 to 48 and 90 d after seeding, mean residues (n = 4) of either herbicide did not exceed 0.10 mg kg–1. No metribuzin or trifluralin residues were detected in the mature seed. Key words: Metribuzin, trifluralin, faba bean, Vicia faba L., herbicide residues, gas chromatography

In a study involving two sites in western Canada, residues of the herbicide metribuzin in lentil were monitored by gas chromatography following postemergence application at 0.28 kg a.i. ha−1. On the day of spraying, initial residues in lentil green foliage were of the order of 1 mg kg−1. Metribuzin residues in the green foliage continually decreased with time to non-detectable levels (< 0.02 mg kg−1) at 42 d after application. No metribuzin residues were detected in the straw or mature seed. Key words: Metribuzin, 4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-(methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one; lentil, Lens culinaris Medic., residues, residue analysis, gas chromatography

Orion is an early-maturing, small-seeded faba bean (Vicia faba minor) cultivar developed by Agriculture Canada. Orion is adapted to the short-season areas of the park-lands of Western Canada, where it produces higher seed yield than other cultivars.Key words: Cultivar description, faba bean, Vicia faba L.

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) maintain third place with respect to area and production among legume. Its unique ability to excel under all most all type of climatic conditions, it is one of the best performing crops under changing climate scenario. Its soil fertility augmenting potential and their performance was evaluated for two years with 73 accessions collected from Bihar. This study provides glimpses of scope and magnitude of soil fertility improving potential of faba bean (Vicia faba L.)

Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are known to play relevant roles in plant defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. In the present study, we characterize the response of transgenic faba bean (Vicia faba L.) plants encoding a PR10a gene from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) to salinity and drought. The transgene was under the mannopine synthetase (pMAS) promoter. PR10a-overexpressing faba bean plants showed better growth than the wild-type plants after 14 days of drought stress and 30 days of salt stress under hydroponic growth conditions. After removing the stress, the PR10a-plants returned to a normal state, while the wild-type plants could not be restored. Most importantly, there was no phenotypic difference between transgenic and non-transgenic faba bean plants under well-watered conditions. Evaluation of physiological parameters during salt stress showed lower Na+-content in the leaves of the transgenic plants, which would reduce the toxic effect. In addition, PR10a-plants were able to maintain vegetative growth and experienced fewer photosystem changes under both stresses and a lower level of osmotic stress injury under salt stress compared to wild-type plants. Taken together, our findings suggest that the PR10a gene from potato plays an important role in abiotic stress tolerance, probably by activation of stress-related physiological processes.

Auxin not only controls the development processes, but also regulates the stress responses of plants. In this investigation, we explored the potential roles of exogenously applied indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in conferring salt tolerance in the faba bean (Vicia faba L.). Our results showed that foliar application of IAA (200 ppm) to salt-exposed (60 mM and 150 mM NaCl) plants promoted growth, which was evidenced by enhanced root–stem traits. IAA application ensured better osmotic protection in salt-stressed plants which was supported by reduced proline and enhanced soluble sugar, soluble protein, and total free amino acid contents in the roots, stem, and seeds. IAA application also increased the number of nodules in salt-stressed plants, which may facilitate better nitrogen assimilation. Moreover, IAA mediated improvements in mineral homeostasis (K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) and the translocation of Na+, while it also inhibited excessive accumulation of Na+ in the roots. Salt-induced oxidative damage resulted in increased accumulation of malondialdehyde, whereas IAA spraying relegated malondialdehyde by improving antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase. Together, these results together with a principal component analysis uncovered that foliar spraying of IAA alleviated the antagonistic effects of salt stress via enhancing osmolyte accumulation, ionic homeostasis, and antioxidant activity. Finally, exogenous IAA enhanced the yield of broad beans under high salinity conditions.
