SUMMARY
The field experiment on faba bean (Vicia faba L.) was conducted in RBD by using 13 elite genotypes including two checks during rabi 2019-20 and 2020-21 at Research Farm of MAP Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. In the present study, wide genetic variability was observed for plant height (cm), days to flowering, days to maturity, and seed yield (kg/ha). During 2019-20, out of 13 genotypes, the genotype HB 15-21 recorded the highest seed yield (4236.11 kg/ha) followed by HB 15-41 (3941.24 kg/ha), HFB 1 (C) (3881.48 kg/ha), HB 15-04 (3703.70 kg/ha), Vikrant (C) (3653.70 kg/ha), HB 13-38 (3587.50 kg/ha). During 2020-21, the maximum seed yield (kg/ha) was observed in HB 13-38 (3291.75 kg/ha) followed by HB 15-17 (3183.25 kg/ha), HB 15-07 (3178.00 kg/ha), HB 15-14 (3139.00 kg/ha). However, on average basis, protein content was found maximum in HB 15-51 (27.55%) followed by NDFB 17-01 (27.26%), HFB 1 (C) (27.26%), HB 15-17 (27.13%), HB 13-38 27.11%), Vikrant (C) (27.07%). These elite
genotypes have good potential for commercial cultivation, but to be tested over time and space
before recommendation for commercial cultivation.
