| Title : | BIPLOT ANALYSIS OF SEED YIELD OF FABA BEAN GENOTYPES AT DIFFERENT PLANTING DATES |
| Abstract : | A split plot experiment was carried out during 2012-13 in Iran to appraise the effects of genotypes and planting dates, as well as their interactions on seed yield in faba bean, based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The dates of planting and six genotypes were arranged in main and split plots, respectively. Analysis of variance revealed significant effects of genotype for all of the traits except plant height. The interaction effects of two factors were significant on seed yield, number of pods per plant and pod length. The polygon view of treatment by trait (TT) biplot indicated the autochthonous landrace from north of Iran (G1) were as a genotype with high mean productivity, but their stability in four planting date is low. This genotype was also the best for first, second and forth sowing dates. The breeding variety (France) was as a more stable variety in all of the planting times. The polygon view of TT biplot is also indicated the best genotypes with respect to each of planting date. The results of present study can help to planning a crosses program for achieving the heterosis, since heterosis only can occur between genetically divergent germplasms. |
