Abstract: 

This research was conducted at Hama Agricultural Scientific Research Center, General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research, to evaluate the performance of nine genotypes of  broad bean FLIP 14 -033, FLIP 15 -227FB, FLIP 14 -028, FLIP 14 -025, FLIP 15 -250FB, FLIP 15 -228FB, FLIP 15 -225FB, FLIP 14 -062, FLIP 14 -030, compare to the local variety Hama 2 as a check, during three seasons (2017/2018, 2018/2019, 2019/2020), Randomized complete blocks (RCBD) was used with two repetitions. The results of the statistical analysis showed significant differences between the genotypes and years and the interaction between them, and the results indicated that the genotype FLIP 14-025 achieved the heighest seed yield, number of pods per plant, number of branches per plant and plant height, compare to the other genotypes and Hama2. The seed yield and number of pods per plant were significantly increased during the two seasons (2019 and 2020) compared to the season (2018), This is due to the fact that the total precipitation during 2019 and 2020 was close and higher than 2018.

Key words: genotypes, Broad bean, seed yield.
