Density studies on faba bean (Vicia faba).
1987
Coelho J.C.
The effects of changes in plant density on yield and yield components were studied in a local strain of faba bean (Tapada da Ajula). The plants were grown at five population densities (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 plants/m2). The highest yield was obtained at 40 plants/m2 but this was not significantly different from the yields at 30 and 50 plants/m2. The increase in plant density resulted in a reduction in branching and number of pods/plant but little change in pods/stem, seed size, or seeds/pods.
