Abstract

Eight faba bean (Vicia faba L.) genotypes were grown at lowlands of the west-Mediterranean region of Turkey in order to estimate the broad-sense heritability for plant height, number of stems and pods per plant, seed yield, biological yield, 100-seed weight, days to flowering and maturity. The heritability for plant height, number of stems and pods per plant, seed yield, biological yield, 100-seed weight, days to flowering and maturity were estimated as 83%, 63%, 43%, 62%, 52%, 99%, 97% and 97%, respectively. It was found that seed weight was the least affected trait across changing environmental conditions and followed by days to flowering and maturity. On the other hand, number of pods per plant, biological and seed yields and number of stems per plant were the most affected traits versus environmental conditions.
