SUMMARY
A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the response of five genotypes of faba bean to different management levels during Rabi 2022-23 at Research Farm of MAP Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS HAU, Hisar at four different levels of fertility-irrigation, viz., control, 0% RDF + one irrigation, 75% RDF + two irrigations, 100% RDF (40N; 20P; 20K) + three irrigations. The five genotypes and four fertigation levels were evaluated with three replications in Split Plot design having plot size 2.1 × 5.0 m2. The results exhibited that seed grain yield was significantly subjected by faba bean genotypes as well as fertility-irrigation levels. Among the genotypes, HB-15-38 produced highest seed yield of 38.2 q/ha followed by RFB-32, HB 14-31, & RFB-34, respectively. The seed yield was significantly increased with the improvement in the management levels. The seed yield was increased to the tune of 15, 28 and 39 percent with 50% RDF + one irrigation, 75% RDF + two irrigation and RDF + three irrigation, respectively than the control (29.6 q/ha). Interaction effect of treatment combinations was non-significant on seed yield. However, a combination of V3F3(HB 15-38 with RDF + three irrigation) resulted the highest seed yield.
