Abstract
Three Moroccan faba bean varieties (V) (Viciafaba minor) Alfia 5, Alfia 17 and Alfia 21 were
grown under four phosphorus (P) rates (0, 20, 80 and 160 kg P2O5/ha) in the INRA
experiment station of Douyet in Meknes action site. The experimental design was a split plot
with four replicates where P was affected to the main plot and variety to the sub plot. Two
measurements were taken: the first one at flowering stage to estimate nodulation and biomass
production the second one at harvest time to estimate grain yield and evaluate the residual
effect of phosphorus treatments.
