Performance of Orobanche Control Treatments in Faba Bean Crop
Abstract: Abstract

Evaluation of ten treatments for the control of Orobanche of faba bean was made in two field experiments carried out at Sids Agricultural Research Station, Beni-Suef Governorate. The results indicate that the variety Giza 2 had the highest number of Orobanche plants (53.3 spikes/m2). In contrast, late sowing, glyphosate application, integrated control, non-chemical integated control and Giza 429 (Orobanche toler-ant var.) had the lowest number of Orobanche, which ranged from 5.3 to 10.3 spikes/m2. These five treatments showed areduction in number of orobache/m2 results to Giza 2, of 90, 81, 88, 87 and 87% respect-tively. The results indicate also that non- chemical integated control treatment gave the highest faba bean seed yield of 1046 kg/fed, (6.8 ardab/fed) followed by integrated control treatment (995 kg/fed, i.e 6.4 ardab/fed) with no significant difference. Both treatments produced seed yield 50 and 48 times greater than Giza 2, respectively. Late sow-ing ranked as the rhird highest yield treatment with seed yield of 648 lg/fed (4.9 ardab/fed) that was 37 times the yield of Giza 2, while Giza 429 was the fourth highest yielding treatment.These treatments in gen-eral, and the two integrated control treatments in particular, had also the highest yield component characters.
