Abstract
The field experiment was conducted during winter seasons of 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 at Barrage Horticultural Research Station, Kalubia Governorate, to study the performance of five broad bean cultivars, i. e., Reinamora, Luzudo Otono, Akoadolz, Ksaseen 7 and Sciabola Verde, and their response to some foliar application compounds, i. e ., Setter-2 (1.5 cm/L), Oraset-x (1g/L) and Hyper-K (2 g/L) The sprays were applied four times to fined out their effect on vegetative growth, behavior flowering, total yield, its components, pod characters and chemical contents. Results indicated that significant differences were observed among the tested cultivars in plant height, number of branches/plant, number of days to flowering, nodes to first flower, setting percentage, total green yield and its components and chemical composition. The cultivar Reinamora was the most favorable for giving the best results in total green yield, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod, weight of 100 seeds and total protein. The foliar spray with Oraset-x followed by Setter -2 were significantly the superior treatments to produce plants with vigorous vegetative growth, i e., plant height and number of branches/plant, earliness, highest fruit setting percentage, total green yield, number of pods/plant, weight of ten pods, pod characters, weight of 100 green seeds and total protein. Significant differences were detected between cultivar and spray treatment interaction for plant height, number of branches/plant total green yield, weight of 10 pods, pod length and weight of 100 green seeds. Foliar spray with Oraset-x and Setter-2 treatment on cv. Sciabola Verde gave the highest values of vegetative growth. However, spraying with both Oraset-x and Setter -2 on Reinamora cultivars increased total green yield, weight of 100 seeds. Finally foliar spray with Oraset - x and Setter - 2 on broad bean cultivars gave the best increase in fruit setting percentage, yield and its quality.
