Abstract This study was carried out at Genetics Department, Faculty of Agriculture,Tanta University. The field investigations were carried out in the Experimental Farm at Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt,during the three successive faba bean growing seasons of 2008/2009, 2009/2010band 2010/2011. The main objective of this study included the induction of new promising faba bean genotypes that are able to produce high yield, broomrape tolerance and resistance to rust and chocolate spot foliar diseases.The two parental genotypes Misr1and Giza843 were highly tolerant to Orobanche, where Giza2 and Sakha3 were highly susceptible parents. Also, the hybrid C3 (Misr1x Giza843) gave the highest tolerant value for Orobanche tolerance in the F1 crosses and their F2 generations, beside C3 ranked the second for F1’s means after C6 (Sakha3 x Giza843) and the first in F2’s mean for seed yield per plant under infested soil. |
