In total, 339 faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and 100 pea (Pisum sativum L.) accessions were screened for their ability to resist Callosobruchus chinensis L. in free choice laboratory tests. Four, 15, and 43 faba bean varieties were highly resistant, resistant, and moderately resistant to C. chinensis, respectively. Three immune, three highly resistant, and six resistant accessions were discovered am...

in order to evaluate the density, population and insect fauna diversity and agronomical yield in intercropping faba bean (vicia faba l.) andcoriander (coriandrum sativum l.), a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the farm located in nagadeh, west azerbaijan province, iran during growing season in 2012-2013. treatments included 75...

Most pulse (nonoilseed legume) seed flours can be fractionated rapidly and economically by air classification into protein and starch concentrates. The nutritional value of air-classified field pea and faba bean concentrates requires characterization to assess the feeding opportunity for pigs. Thus, the objectives were to characterize the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of DM, OM, ene...

in order to study the intercropping of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) and faba bean (vicia faba l.) an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with two factors and three replications at sari agricultural science and natural resources university during 2009. the first factor was two seed ratios include d1: 75 and 150 kg.ha-1 of faba bean and barley, respectiv...

This study was conducted to detect for the first time the occurrence of phytoplasma in symptomatic faba bean plants in Saudi Arabia. Faba bean is one of the most widely grown protein-producing food legumes. Ten leaf and stem samples showing symptoms of phyllody and stunting were collected from plants grown in Agricultural Research Station field Riyadh region, Saudi Arabia during December, 2011....

High-fat-high-cholesterol diets containing casein or a Vicia faba bean (faba bean) protein concentrate as the protein source were given to rats for 5 weeks. When the faba bean protein concentrate or its ethanol extract was present in the diet, a marked decrease was found in the level of circulating cholesterol associated with the lower-density lipoproteins (very-low-, intermediate- and low-dens...

Faba bean (Vicia faba) production in Mediterranean and Near East agriculture is severely constrained by broomrape infection. The most widely distributed broomrape species affecting faba bean is Orobanche crenata, although O. foetida and Phelipanche aegyptiaca are of local importance. Only moderately resistant cultivars are available to farmers. Rizotrons studies allowed the dissection of resist...

Air-classified pulse (non-oilseed legume) protein and starch may replace specialty protein and starch feedstuffs in diets for weaned pigs. In Exp. 1, three specialty protein sources (5% soy protein concentrate, 5% corn gluten meal, and 5% menhaden meal in the control diet) were replaced with 16% zero-tannin hulled or dehulled faba bean, or 17.5% field pea protein concentrate. In total, 192 grou...

Faba bean have been grown in Portugal for a long time and locally adapted populations are still maintained on farm. The genetic diversity of four Portuguese faba bean populations that are still cultivated in some regions of the country was evaluated using the Inter Retrotransposons Amplified Polymorphism (IRAP) technique. It was shown that molecular markers based on retrotransposons previously ...
