Landscape composition modifies pollinator densities, foraging behavior and yield formation in faba beans

open access: yesBasic and Applied Ecology, 2022
Wildlife-friendly management practices promote pollinators and pollination services in agricultural landscapes. Wild bee densities are driven by landscape composition, as they benefit from an increased availability of nesting and foraging resources at ...

Advances in Faba Bean Genetics and Genomics [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2016
Vicia faba L, is a globally important grain legume whose main centers of diversity are the Fertile Crescent and Mediterranean basin. Because of its small number (six) of exceptionally large and easily observed chromosomes it became a model species for plant cytogenetics the 70s and 80s.

Biochemical and Morphological Mechanisms Underlying the Performance and Preference of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) on Wheat and Faba Bean Plants

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), which attacked China in 2019, remains a significant threat to wheat production. Wheat–faba bean intercropping systems prevent damage caused by wheat aphids; however, the potential role in S. frugiperda control remains

Faba Bean and Pea Can Provide Late-Fall Forage Grazing without Affecting Maize Yield the Following Season

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
Faba bean (Vicia faba Roth) and pea (Pisum sativum L.) are grown worldwide as protein sources for food and feed and can be used as cover crops after wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). However, faba bean is underutilized in upper Midwest farming systems.

Partitioning pollination services to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) between managed honeybees and wild bees

open access: yesBasic and Applied Ecology, 2023
Animal pollination of crops is an important ecosystem service provided especially by managed honeybees and wild bees, but the relative importance of these taxa for crop pollination remains debated.

Effect of Intercropping Between Garlic and Faba Bean on Yield and Infestation by Some Piercing-Sucking Insect Pests [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2021
Faba bean is an important food crop in Egypt, with seeds of 22 % protein. In addition, it is considered a land reclaiming crop, as it enriches the soil with some nitrogen fertilizer.

Mineral excretion of rats fed on diets containing faba beans (Vicia faba L.) or faba bean fractions [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Nutrition, 1992
The effects on faecal mineral excretion of two commercial varieties (local cultivar and Troy cultivar) of raw faba beans (Vicia faba L., minor) meal (VFM) and its fractions have been studied in growing rats. Diets contained local-VFM (dark seed coat) and Troy-VFM (light seed coat) at 474–500 g/kg diet, hull (VFH) from both varieties at 65 g/kg diet ...
