Abstract

The faba bean for industry plays an important agronomic and environmental function in the production systems of the Tagus Valley. In 2019, the development and growth of the Histal faba bean variety was monitored. The phenological growth stages, the potential and productive population, the fresh weight and the dry weight of the plant were observed and recorded. The yield components, amount of macronutrients extracted and returned to the soil were evaluated. The productive population was 8,7 plants/m2, which represented an emergency of 90% of the potential population. The average number of branches per plant was 5,3. On average, each plant produced 18 commercial pods (60% of the total number) that originated 75,5 grains/plant. Adverse meteorological conditions, throughout the cultural cycle, had a negative impact on the flowering and development of the pods, affecting the yield.
