Influence of flower color on seed yield and yield components in faba bean [Vicia faba].
1988
Singh V.P. | Tomer Y.S.
Observations were recorded for plant height, seed yield, number of tillers, number of pods/plant, seeds/pod, and 100-seed weight on the F2 plants of two crosses namely WF x Dholi-8 and WF x WH-51, segregating for flower color. Plants with white flower significantly yielded lower than those with colored ones. This was accompanied by a significant reduction in the number of pods/plant, tillers/plant, and 100-seed weight. Exploitation of variability within white flowered genotypes may improve the yielding ability of white-flowered faba bean.
