Abstract

The experiment was carried out during 2022-23 winter seasons to find out the effect of phosphorus levels on the grain yield and yield components of horse bean (Vicia faba var. minor) grown under shade and open conditions. Six different levels of phosphorus (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 kg P2O5 ha-1) were tested on the crops, and, some properties were measured such as plant height, number of pod per plant, thousand grain weight, yields of biological and grain in the research experiment. Growing condition (media) and rate of phosphorus had a significant effect on all of the measured traits of horse bean. Crops grown at open condition produced higher grain yield compared to shade and was significantly superior. Increasing rates of P increased the yield and yield components of horse bean compared to the control (P0). Among different P levels the highest biological and grain yield were recorded with the application of 90 kg P2O5 ha-1 for horse bean grown under open condition.
