An experiment to study the effect of variety and plant density on growth and yield of faba bean varieties was conducted during the rabi (winter) 1980-83 seasons at the Crop Research Centre of Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology in Pantnagar, India. This study included two varieties (UPS 1 and BS 1) and five plant densities (12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 plants/m2). Differences in grain yield, number of grains/pod, 100-grain weight, and number of nodes/plant due to variety and variety x density interaction were not significant. Grain yield increased with increasing plant density up to 100 plants/m2. Number of nodes/branch and plant height increased, but number of pods/branch, number of pods/plant, number of branches/plant decreased with increase in plant density
