1000-kernel weight — small-seeded faba bean

Vicia faba L. var. minuta (hort. ex Alef.) Mansf.

A key indicator of seed size and plumpness in Vicia faba var. minuta, used to calculate seeding rates and forecast potential yield.

In the reference 21 varieties crop Tick Bean, where this is mentioned in the description.

For small-seeded faba bean forms, the 1000-kernel weight typically ranges from 200 to 450 grams. This group differs significantly from medium- and large-seeded vegetable types, which have considerably higher weight values.

This metric is critical for converting seeding rates from mass to number of seeds per unit area, which allows for achieving optimal plant density. Furthermore, the 1000-kernel weight, within the varietal norm, correlates with nutrient reserves, ensuring the development of more vigorous seedlings during the initial stages of growth.
