PREFACE
This is the fourth major publication on Vicia faba reporting
proceedings of seminars organised through the Commission of the European
Communities in the context of the E.E.C. Common Research Programme on
Plant Protein Improvement.
The previous three volumes report proceedings from the seminar in
Sari in 1978 (Some current research on Vicia faba in Western Europe), and
from Cambridge in 1979 (Vicia faba : Feeding value, processing and
viruses) and in Wageningen in 1980 (Vicia faba : Physiology and
Breeding).
The theme of this seminar, held at the University of Nottingham from
14th to 16th September 1983 was selected to examine current research on
agronomy, physiology, plant breeding and nutrition.
84 delegates from 15 European countries attended. Throughout the
seminar there was a spirit of friendliness and co-operation. Everyone
seemed dedicated to doing real justice to the faba bean crop.
The organisation of this seminar would not have been possible
without the help of my secretary, Mrs. Jeanne Rodwell who undertook most
of the administrative and secretarial work.

ABSTRACT
Preliminary experiments have indicated the main factors affecting
the yield of winter (6 trials) and spring faba beans (5 trials) :
information is presented on the development of pods and flowers, yield
and yield components and grain protein content at different locations in
France.
INTRODUCTION
The yield of Vicia faba is often variable. Climatic conditions have
a considerable effect on growth and development and influence the
development of diseases and pests.
The objectives of these experiments are :
- to evaluate development of the componentsof yield
- to identify the climatic parameters which influence growth and
development at different growth stages.
This paper presents provisional results from experiments carried out
by I.T.C.F. in conjunction with I.N R.A., school of agriculture, breeders
and funded by U.N.I.P. and the Ministry of Agriculture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
- Cultural conditions in each experiment, Vicia faba was grown under
optimum conditions : pests and diseases were controlled regularly. The
varieties used were Ascott (spring) and Survoy (winter).
- Observations :
- number of plants after emergence and post winter from
4 x 1 m2 areas.
- development of flowers and ovules by numbering, every 5 to 6
days, flowers and pods on 3 x 20 consecutive plants.
