A field experiment was conducted at the Agriculture Research Station of Al-Fateh University, Tripoli, Libya, to evaluate growth, yield, and yield components of three faba bean cultivars 'Giza', 'Italian', and 'Aquadulce' from Egypt, Italy, and Libya, respectively. Giza cultivar proved superior to the other two cultivars in almost all the characters studied. It outyielded Aquadulce and Italiana cultivars by 44.9 and 96.5, respectively, and had the highest shelling percentage (96) as compared to Italiana (63) and Aquadulce (83). Aquadulce cultivar was highest in 1000-seed weight (1.314 g) followed by Giza (0.881 g), and then Italiana (0.569 g). The superiority of cv Giza to Italiana and Aquadulce may be attributed to its higher leaf area/plant, number of pods/plant, pod weight, and number and weight of seeds/plant.
