Evaluation of the Concentration of Nutrients in the Seeds of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L. major) and PEA (Pisum sativum L.) Depending on Habitat Conditions

Abstract

The aim of our study was to determine the effect of habitat conditions on the nutrients content in the seeds of different cultivars of faba bean and pea (edible and fodder cultivars). Experiments were located in some different parts of Poland (9 for faba bean, 11 for field pea). Nine cultivars of faba bean, 17 edible cultivars of pea, and 13 fodder cultivars of pea were used in these experiments. The study showed that the contents of components varied between cultivars of both species depending on examined factors. The contents of the components also varied depending on location. In southern Poland the average crude fibre and crude protein contents were higher than in the northern and northwestern parts of the country. Significant differences between cultivars of faba bean were found in the contents of crude fibre, crude protein, and soluble sugars. All the tested faba bean cultivars contained a similar amount of crude fat. The average crude protein and crude fibre content in pea seeds was higher in the fodder cultivars than in the edible ones. The smallest content of fibre among all the cultivars was noted in the northern and the largest in the southeastern regions of Poland. Most cultivars of pea showed a similar sugar content. The most favorable conditions of sugar accumulation occurred in the southern part and the least in the northeastern and the northern parts of the country. Fodder cultivars showed relatively little variability in starch content. The agro-ecological conditions influenced content of concentration of nutrients in the seeds of faba bean and pea.

The Quality of Eggs from Rosa 1 Hens Fed Diets Containing Seeds of Legume Plants (Lupinus luteus L., Lupinus angustifolius, and Pisum sativum) in Two Laying Phases

“…They used other varieties of narrow-leaved lupins and peas characterized by higher crude protein contents (36.88 and 27.57%, respectively) than those used in this study (30.30 and 20.38%, respectively). The aim of the study of Księżak et al [ 22 ] was the evaluation of the concentration of nutrients in the seeds of few faba bean and pea varieties. They compared the pea var.…”

The Productivity of Selected Species and Cultivars of Legumes Grown for Seeds in Organic Production System

“…Dry matter of the stem of one legume plant and siliques (g). [40], the results of the protein content assessment in faba bean showed that the smaller amount of it characterized Sonet, Optimal, and Granit varieties, while the larger the other evaluated varieties. Sarah et al [41] inform that the content of protein, carbohydrates, ash, fat, and fiber depends on the variety.…”

“…Księżak [40] reported varied content of fiber, the least contained it Bobas and Granitp. Księżak [40] noted similar fat content in all evaluated cultivars in faba bean. However, Hendawey [43] showed greater concentration in Giza 843 and Giza 3.…”

The Effects of Differences such as Variety, Region and Plant Density on the Relationship between Grain Quality Criteria in Faba Bean

“…Regarding the ash and moisture contents of the faba bean grain, Yıldız [20] determined 4.0-6.7% and 12.1-12.6% respectively, while Baloch et al [21] reported that it varied between 3.7-3.8% and 7.5-9.5%. The fat content has been measured by Baloch et al [21] 1.7-2.1% and Ksiezak et al [22] determined it as 1.3-1.8% in faba bean. In this study, in which the differences between variety, location and row were examined, it was observed that the ash, oil and moisture contents obtained were compatible with previous studies.…”

“…In previous studies, it was reported that during seed development, faba beans can accumulate up to 25-35% of protein in dry seeds [28; 15]. In some other studies, protein contents 19.9-26.8% [20], 27.5-33.4% [26], 21.6-22.4% [21] and 26.4-29.2% [22] was determined. It has been determined that the protein values of this study were showed different according to cultivar and enviromental.…”
