. Concerning planting dates effect, it could be concluded that early planting achieved the highest value in most characters, yield and yield component as well as reducing seed infestation percentage in the store while the late planting at 1St of Dec. gave the highest seed infestation percentage, seed protein content and the lowest percentage of seed germination. Planting dates at mid of Nov., and 1St of Dec., gave the highest percentage of seed coat. The results cleared that Sakhal cv. had the superiority over Giza2 in 100 - seeds weight, seed weight/plant, seed yield/fad., germination percentage and seed protein content, while Giza2 cv. was the superior in number of pods/ plant, number of seeds/ pod, straw yield/fad. and seed coat percentage. Low planting population of 70,000 plants/fad. surmounted both 93,333 and 140,000 plants /fad. in No of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod, seed weight/plant and 100-seeds weight. Furthermore, the dense planting of 140,000 plants/fad was extreme in the final seed and straw yields/fad. Respecting to harvesting dates and methods of storage effect, the results showed that, seeds harvested at full maturity and stored in cans were the best in the most quality characters.
