SUMMARY
Present experiment was conducted at Research Farm Area of MAP Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS HAU, Hisar during Rabi 2021-22 to evaluate seven promising genotypes (AVT-II entries) of Faba bean (HB 15-04, HB 15-14, HB15-21,HB 15-34, HB 15-41, HB 15- 51, HB 15-55) along with three checks (Vikrant HFB-1 and HFB-2) at four different levels of agro- management, viz., control, 0% RDF + one irrigation, 75% RDF + two irrigations, 100%RDF (40:20:20) + three irrigations. The genotypes and management levels were tested in Split Plotdesign with three replications having plot size 2.1 × 5.0 m2. The results showed that seed yield was significantly influenced by genotypes and fertility levels. Among the genotypes, HB-15-55 produced higher seed yield of 3587 kg/ha followed by HB 15-51 (3507kg/ha), HB 15-04 (3455 kg/ha), HB 15-34 (3430 kg/ha) and HB 15-41 (3320 kg/ha), respectively. The seed yield was significantly increased with the improvement in the management levels. The seed yield was increased to the tune of 09.15, 18.20 and 29.06 percent with 50% RDF + one irrigation, 75% RDF + two irrigation and 100% RDF + three irrigation, respectively than the control (2763 kg/ha). Interaction effect of treatment combinations was non-significant on seed yield. However, a combination of HB 15-55 with 100% RDF + three irrigations resulted in the highest seed yield.
