Net photosynthesis and evapotranspiration of field-grown soybean canopies

Physiological Approaches for Yield Improvement of Blackgram under Rainfed Condition

“…Leaf area index is one of the principle factors influencing canopy net photosynthesis of the crop plants (Hansen, 1972). Patra et al, (1995) stated that total dry matter production and pod yield of groundnut were attributed to higher LAI through facilitating efficient interception of light.…”

The effect of planting distance on yield of beans (Vicia faba L.) under drip irrigation system

“…Faba beans (Vicia faba L.), one of the leguminous crops cultivated widespread in Iraq and other parts of the world, occupies the first place among legumes crops and a source of essential food that in turn contain high proportion of protein (21 to 34%), amino acids, fat and sugar (Aljubouri, 2006;Hansen, 1972). China is ranked first in beans production and consumption, amounting to 2.7 million tons year -1 (65%) of world production, followed by Ethiopia (9%) and then Egypt 262 thousand tons year -1 .…”

Effect of faba bean sowing distance and some combinations of mineral nitrogen levels with bio-fertilizers on sugar beet and faba bean productivity under intercropping system

“…+ Azosp. with 60 or 80 kg N /fad followed by 100 kg N/fad Faba beans (Vicia faba L.), one of the leguminous crops cultivated in Egypt and in the world and it can be used as human food in developing countries as green vegetable or dried, fresh, it is a source of several foods that in turn contain high proportion of protein (21 to 34%), amino acids, fat and sugar (Aljubouri, 2006 andHansen, 1972). Egypt is ranked the third in faba bean production (262 thousand tons year) and consumption after China and Ethiopia (9%) and then Egypt 262 thousand tons /year.…”
