Abstract

Faba Bean cultivation is done in Golestan province to harvest the green pods.In order to evaluate the effect of row spacing and plant density on yield and seed pods of green pod factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2015-2016 was conducted in Gorgan Agricultural Research Station.The first factor consisted of four row spacings (30, 45, 60 and 75 cm) and the second factor included four plant density (130000, 145000, 160000 and 175000 plants per ha).The results showed that the highest yield of green pods and seeds between rows 30 cm and the amount, 6.74 and 1.66 tons per hectare were obtained.The green pods and seed yield and 0.97 respectively 4.48 tons per hectare in the space between rows 75 cm were obtained.The highest correlation was found between grain yield and biological yield, as well as the number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant with strong positive and significant relationship existed.The results indicated that the highest yield in 30 cm row spacing and density of 130,000 plants per hectare argumentum uniform distribution of space and resources were plants and productivity.
