Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Menoufia University, Shebin El-Kom, Egypt (latitude 30°52'58''N, longitude 31°02'58''E) during the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 seasons. The present investigation studied the effect of foliar application with some growth stimulants on growth, chlorophyll, production and abscission of flowers and pods, yield and its components, and seed chemical composition of some faba bean (Vicia faba, L) cultivars. In each season, the experiment included twenty-four treatments, which were the combination of four faba bean cultivars and six growth stimulants as follows:
