Yield of field beans

Vicia faba L.

An indicator of bean productivity, measured by grain mass at a standard moisture content of 12-14% or by green mass. It varies from 1.3 to 4.3 t/ha for grain and from 185 to 432 c/ha for green mass, depending on cultivation conditions.

In the reference 60 varieties crop Broad bean, where this is mentioned in the description.

The yield of field beans is determined by the realization of structural elements: plant stand density, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, and 1000-seed weight. Under intensive production systems, grain productivity indicators reach 3.5–4.3 t/ha; however, the crop is characterized by high yield variability, with a coefficient that can range from 30% to 77%.

The primary limiting factor for yield is precipitation availability during the growing season. Agronomic management of productivity includes early sowing dates, which promote better pod set, and optimization of stand density, ranging from 0.3–0.5 million viable seeds per hectare.
