25 genotypes of faba bean were grown during rabi season 1984/85 under water stress (rainfed) and non-stress (irrigated) conditions with the objective to study the effect of water stress on dry matter production, harvest index, and seed yield and its components. Significant differences were observed among the genotypes for seed yield, harvest index, number of seeds/plant, 100-seed weight, and protein content under both environments, whereas dry matter production, days to maturity, and number of branches/plant were significantly different under water stress only. The variation due to environments was significant for seed yield and harvest index. Heritability estimates were observed to be moderate to low for all characters, except for protein content and 100-seed weight
