In the reference 10 varieties crop Broad bean, where this is mentioned in the description.
For optimal development, fava beans require fertile loamy or clay soils with a neutral reaction. The crop is sensitive to moisture supply during the flowering and pod-setting periods, while not tolerating waterlogging. As long-day plants, they show delayed development under a shortened light period.
Cultivation technology includes deep seed placement at 4–8 cm and the use of wide-row or double-row sowing patterns. The optimal temperature range is 17–22 °C, whereas exceeding 25 °C leads to flower drop. Mandatory maintenance includes hilling to increase stem stability and control weeds.
