Effect of nitrogen nutrition on the production and quality of two cultivars of Vicia faba L. var major in a Mediterranean area (Spain).
1988
Bergareche C. | Vidal D. | Simon E.
The yield of two cultivars of Vicia faba var major (Reina Mora and Reina Blanca) were studied for two consecutive seasons. The effects of two levels of nitrogen fertilizer applied as ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate and the date of fertilizer application on yield and protein content was also determined. Treatment with either source of N resulted in an increased yield of cv Reina Blanca, whereas it reduced the yield of cv Reina Mora. In contrast with yield, the protein content was decreased in R. Blanca and increased in R. Mora seeds.
