“…However, the main effect of interrow spacing on hundred seed weight was not found significant. A similar result of a nonsignificant effect of interrow spacing on hundred-seed was also reported Almaz et al [20] Main effect of varieties showed a highly significant difference on straw yield. Desi type of Mariye variety had better straw yield as compared to the Kabuli type of Arerti variety.…”

“…As chickpea straw is the main by-product produced after chickpea grain threshing and widely used as a ruminant feed (it contains higher nutritive value than cereal straw), selection for such a trait and enhancing straw yield may be effective in chickpea breeding. The interrow spacing main effect depicted a significant effect, harvest index appeared to increase as the interrow spacing increases from 20 cm to 40 cm and similar results were also reported by Almaz et al [20], Rasul et al [13], and Pooniya et al [15]. Harvest index is a measure of physiological productivity potential of a crop or variety.…”

Effects of row spacing, blended fertilizer rates, and varieties on some agronomic traits of chickpea were evaluated with the objective of investigating response of Kabuli and Desi type chick pea varieties to blended fertilizers rates and interrow spacing. The study was done using split plot design interrow spacing as a main plot, and fertilizer and variety as a subplot, where three row spacings (20 cm, 30 cm, and 40 cm) were assigned to the main plot while the factorial combination of four blended (NPSB) fertilizer rates (0 kg/ha, 50 kg/ha, 100 kg/ha, and 150 kg/ha) and representative of Kabuli and Desi type chickpea varieties such as Arerti and Mariye, respectively, were assigned to the subplot. Main effect of interrow spacing did not show significant difference on many studied agronomic parameters. Similarly, main effect of blended fertilizer rates and varieties did not reveal a significant difference for the studied parameters. However, significant differences were obtained on phenology, yield components, and yield for the varieties. Blended fertilizer rates utilized in Tselemti District did not show differences in most of studied traits. Reasonable row spacing of 20 cm for both types of chickpea could be used for the studied area.

“…The production of high number of pods per plant for P3 may be due to less competition for light, moisture and nutrients resulting in production of more pods per plant at low plant population. The highest number of pods per plant in lower plant population was also reported faba bean (Dahmardeh et al, 2010;Gezahegn et al, 2016) [15,23] . The higher number of seeds per plant may have resulted from less competition for nutrients, light and moisture resulting in the plant being able to produce more.…”

“…This can also be due to less competition for light, water and nutrients, which leads plants being able to intercept more photosynthetically active radiation resulting in the production of more yield per plant in low plant population. Gezahegn et al (2016) [23] reported that lower plant population resulted in higher yield per plant in faba bean. The highest fruit yield per plant was also found in lower plant population in paprika pepper (Aminifard et al, 2010) [10] .…”

The trial was conducted at Dzindi irrigation scheme in Vhembe District in the Limpopo Province during the 2012 growing season. It was a 3x2 factorial experiment involving three plant populations (210 000, 150 000 and 70 000 plants ha-1) and two varieties of dry bean which are OPS-RS2 and Jenny with three replications. The results revealed that the interaction relationship between dry bean variety and plant population significantly influenced grain yield, 100 seed mass, number of seeds, plant height, chlorophyll content and dry matter production. The highest grain yield per plant was produced by Jenny with 70 000 plants ha-1. The highest grain yield was produced by OPS-RS2 with 150 000 plants ha-1 (3.8 tha-1) which was not significantly different to Jenny at 210 000 plants ha-1 and Jenny at 150 000 plants ha-1. A plant population of 150 000 plants ha-1 was suitable for both determinate and indeterminate growth type dry beans.

“…Faba bean is very important cash and food crop. It is high in protein (23-26%) and composes plentiful of health-benefiting antioxidants [6]. Being so important crop, there is a need to enhance faba bean cultivation [7].…”

Legumes have a very important place in human food. Historically they have been grown since antiquity. Due to high nutritive value they are recommended in daily intake diet. The present study was conducted to determine the biochemical profile and assessment of trace elements in faba beans (Vicia faba L.) from two districts of Balochistan. Biochemical studies indicated that they have different moisture content (7.5 % and 9.5 %), ash content (3.7 % and 3.8 %), fat content (2.07 % and 1.73 %) and protein content (21.62 % and 22.44 %) for samples collected from both locations Panjgur and Kech districts. Trace elements analysis showed the concentration of manganese (Mn) 0.127 and 0.129 μg/g, zinc (Zn) 1.132 and 0.951 μg/g, copper (Cu) 0.57 and 0.60 μg/g, Iron (Fe) 0.07 and 0.09 μg/g respectively, in samples from both districts. The concentration of chromium (Cr) and Nickel (Ni) were not detected in samples from Panjgur district, whereas, their concentrations in samples from Kech district were found 0.01 μg/g. The study concludes that the faba beans grown in Balochistan have high nutritive value and low trace metallic content profile which makes it fit for food and feed. Moreover, a significant correlation was found by comparing obtained profiles of faba beans from both districts. The study suggests that faba beans genotypic evaluation and soil analysis is required for better crop production.
