Abstract
The experiment was conducted at the farm of the faculty of agriculture and natural resources, Aswan university, during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons to study the effect of spraying with Persicaria leaf extract, chitosan, and a mixed treatment, on the yield of three faba bean cultivars (Sakha 4, Nobaria 1, and Giza 716) when cultivated under Upper Egypt conditions.. The experiment was designed as a split-bloke arrangement (Randomized Complete Block Design) with three replicates in both seasons. Cultivar treatments were distributed on the main plots, while foliar spray treatments were distributed as sub-plots under the main plots. The obtained results showed a clear superiority of the treatment with Persicaria leaf extract spray over other spray treatments, as it significantly increased the number of branches, pods, seeds / plant, weight of 100 seeds, yield / plant, and yield / fed. The faba bean cultivars varied significantly in all the studied traits, with the Sakha 4 Cultivar showing clear superiority in the studied traits except for the number of branches and the weight of 100 seeds, where the Nubaria 1 Cultivar excelled. It can be recommended that planting the Sakha 4 faba bean Cultivar alongside treatment with Persicaria leaf extract spray in Upper Egypt to obtain the highest yield.
