ABSTRACT

Vicia faba L. was domesticated around 8000 BC in the Near East; the crop spread to Central Europe and Russia through Anatolia, the Danube Valley and the Caucasus; to Eastern Mediterranean regions through the Mediterranean coast and the Isles; from Egypt and Arabian Coast (the Arabia Felix) to Abyssinia; through Mesopotamia to India and China probably during the first millennium AD (only land races of major type, the latest in being produced, were known in China until recently). Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is grown world-wide as a protein source for food and feed. The importance of nutrients (micro and macro) for human growth is universally recognized. An investigation was carried out to select the most successful faba bean genotypes to estimate for seed yield and some of agro-morphological traits. Effective interpretation of the dataon breeding programes is important at all stages of plant improvment. The GT (genotype by trait) was used for two-way faba bean genotypes with multiple traits. For this purpose, six faba bean genotypes with specific components were tested and the GT biplot for genotype data explained 83% of total variation of the standardized data. The polygon view of GT presented for five traits of faba bean genotypes showed three vertex genotypes as Goryaka, Karacaoglan and Seher. Genotype Göryaka had the highest values for most of the traits. It was demonstraited that the selection of high seed yield will be via hundred seed weight and planth height. These traits should be considered meanwhile as effective selection criteria developing high yielding faba bean genotypes because of their large contibution to grain yield. The genotypes Goryaka and Karacaoglan could be well-considered for improving of desirable candidate in selection of improvement studies.
