RT Journal Article T1 Agronomic Performance of Broomrape Resistant and Susceptible Faba Bean Accession A1 Rubiales Olmedo, Diego A1 Moral, Ana A1 Flores Gil, Fernando AB The faba bean (Vicia faba) is a temperate grain legume, that is regaining interest due tothe high demand for food and feed uses and the environmental services provided. The parasiticweed broomrape (Orobanche crenata) appears as the major constraint to agricultural production inthe Mediterranean Basin. The yield stability can be managed by adjusting agronomic practicesand breeding for adaptation. In this study, we compared the performance of three susceptible fababean accessions with that of eight lines previously selected for their broomrape resistance, in multienvironment field trials. Results confirmed that the grain yield in the region was negatively affected,mainly by broomrape infection, followed at a distance by ascochyta blight (Ascochyta fabae), whereasthe grain yield was little affected by the low occurring levels of chocolate spot infection (Botrytis fabae).The yield was favored by rain at flowering and was reduced by low temperatures at pre-floweringand flowering, and by high temperatures at flowering and grain-filling. The combined ANOVAshowed significant effects of the genotype, environment, and genotypex environment interaction.The weighted average of the absolute scores biplot (WAASB), a heat map with 21 scenarios basedon the WAASB ratio and the multi-trait stability index (MTSI) were utilized to determine the meanperformance and stability of the faba bean genotypes. Quijote, Navio6, Baraca and FaraonSC areproposed as ideal lines for cultivation in the region and to be further used in future breeding programs PB MDPI SN 2073-4395 (electrónico) YR 2022 FD 2022-06 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/21080 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/21080 LA eng NO Rubiales, D., Moral, A., & Flores, F.
