Faba beans (Vicia faba L.), also known as fava beans, like other crops, are influenced by several factors: their genotype, environment, and management, well the interaction between these, have an important impact on seed yielding quality traits. This study was conducted at three locations in South Italy 2017 2019 to evaluate sowing date effect yield components of Vicia L., originating from cool...

________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The objective of this experiment was to determine whether faba bean could successfully be used in feeds for weaner pigs in the period 10 to 25 kg liveweight. An experiment was conducted using 48 weaner pigs (average weight 10 ± 0.42 kg) to determine the nutritive value of dehulled faba bean meal (Vicia fab...

In this paper there are given the results of a study of the relation of respiration to temperature, in seedlings of Vicia faba, and of the onset of geotropic response. It is shown that with due care and very accurate control of temperature constancy, one can get constant excretion of CO(2) even over fairly long periods. The treatment of the experimental data shows that the Q(10) ratio is of cou...

The Probe trap was tested with three types (empty, water, alcoholic extract of (Vicia faba) respectively and for periods time (1, 2, 3) days to catch the cowpea weevil C. maculatus that infests broad bean seeds prepared cultivation. It gave a catching percentage on third day placing traps (19.16, 62.5, 88.33)% respectively, lowest first (5.83, 20, 41.67%) while highest Indicator device species ...

ABSTRACT A field study at three highland sites near Quito, Ecuador, was conducted to determine whether host-diversity effects on potato late blight would be as important as recently found in studies conducted in temperate areas. We compared three potato mixtures and use of mixtures in combination with different planting densities and two fungicide regimes. Treatment comparisons were made by abs...

The dominant outward rectifier K+ currents were examined in protoplasts from Vicia faba guard cells. In whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, we generally observed that the conductance of the K+ inward and the outward rectifier gradually decreases. As a consequence of this run down a new steady state was achieved which was 90 ± 5% lower than that obtained at the beginning of the recording. The run...

Broad bean (Vicia faba) is a herbaceous climbing plant that can self-pollinate and grow in any type of soil. It is now cultivated throughout the world and commonly used in cooking. Vicia faba belongs to the Fabaceae family and comprises 3 distinct varieties: Vicia faba var minor, Vicia faba var equina, and Vicia faba var major, which is the most widely eaten. Broad beans are eaten raw, cooked, ...
