Despite growing interest about field beans (
Vicia faba
L.), only few researches have
been carried out in Baltic countries on the possibility to increase field be
ans’ yield and quality
depending on different agrotechnical measures. Field trial was carried out in 2015, 2016 and
2017. Researched factors during all years were: A
–
variety (’Laura’, ’Boxer’, ’Isabell’), B
–
seeding rate (30, 40 and 50 germinate able se

), C
–
treatment with fungicide (with and
without application of fungicide). Beans’ yield (t ha

) and yield quality characteristics were
detected in the trial. Temperature and moisture conditions were mostly suitable for high yield
formation of fie
ld beans in all three trial years. In all three trial years, field bean yield has been
significantly affected by all factors. The highest yield (
p
=
0.001) was provided by variety ‘Boxer’
in all years (6.10

). Thousand seed weight (TSW) was sign
ificantly affected by variety
and fungicide application. From agronomical point of view, crude protein level was not
importantly affected by seeding rate changes or fungicide application. Volume weight was
affected significantly by increased seeding rate o
nly in 2016. Fungicide application also did not
affect volume weight significantly during the whole trial period. Field bean yield increased by
each year, but the main tendencies in all years were the same: higher yield and TSW was provided
by variety ‘Box
er’, but higher protein content and volume weight
–
by ‘Isabell’. Seeding rate
increase gave positive impact on yield. Fungicide application affected field bean yield, but did
not affect its quality significantly.
