Abstract

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of managerial factors such as summer planting date on Heat Summation Unit (HSU), phenology and faba bean yield based on number of days and Aggregation Growth Degree Day (AGDD) and to introduce the most suitable genotypes adapted to Mediterranean climatic conditions in the Caspian sea was conducted.
 
Materials & Methods: In order to investigate effect off-season planting date (Summer) on phenology and yield of faba bean var. Luzde otono using accumulation of thermal units conducted at the Gharakhil Agricultural Research Station in 2014 and 2015. Treatment included four summer sowing dates (July 23, August 7, August 23, September 7) by experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications.
 
Results: The results showed that cultivar Luzde otono in the second planting date (August 7) with 9100 kg which has increased by 124% compared to the last planting date (September 7) had the highest yield (green pod). The unit of heliothermal was more in 2015 (from 0.800 to 1.320) compared to 2016 (from 0.576 to 0.983). On August 7, the efficiency of heliothermal consumption (1.320) increased compared to the first date of August 1 (1.200), which was due to the increase in average air temperature and the number of hours of sunshine. Also, among the studied indicators, the efficiency of heat consumption (HUE) and the efficiency of consumption of sunny hours (RUE) as well as estimated thermal requirement of faba bean Luzde otono cultivar in different cultivation dates and at different stages of development and in this direction, due to having a constant and logical trend, they have a relative superiority over other indicators such as GDD and PTI.
 
Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, in order to prevent the coincidence of flowering period and seed filling with heat stress, The summer cultivation of faba bean Luzde otono cultivar has been avoided in June and July and recommended in order to obtain the highest yield (green pod) that cultivation be done in late August.
