A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of Rhizobium inoculation, sulphur, nitrogen and chicken manure on yield, 100-seed weight, cookability, non-soakers, total defects and hydration coefficient of faba bean. The results showed that sulphur, nitrogen and chicken manure treatments significantly (p < or = 0.05) increased yield, 100-seed weight, non-soakers, and hydration coefficient, in the absence of Rhizobium inoculation. The results also showed that Rhizobium inoculation significantly (p < or = 0.05) increased yield, 100-seed weight, cookability, but decreased non-soakers. A positive correlation (r = 0.90) was observed between the non-soaker percent and the total defect percent. No correlation was found between non-soakers, hydration coefficient and cookability. The results of this investigation indicate that Rhizobium inoculation is a promising fertilizer because it is cheap, easy to handle and improves plant growth and seed quality. The efficiency of inoculation could be improved with the addition of biological, chemical or organic fertilizers. Generally, fertilization of faba bean with nitrogen, sulphur or chicken manure not only increased plant growth and yield, but also improved seed quality and nutritional value.
进行了一项田间试验，以研究接种根瘤菌、硫、氮和鸡粪对蚕豆产量、百粒重、可煮性、未浸泡率、总缺陷率和水化系数的影响。结果表明，在未接种根瘤菌的情况下，硫、氮和鸡粪处理显著（p≤0.05）提高了产量、百粒重、未浸泡率和水化系数。结果还表明，接种根瘤菌显著（p≤0.05）提高了产量、百粒重和可煮性，但降低了未浸泡率。未浸泡率与总缺陷率之间存在正相关（r = 0.90）。未浸泡率、水化系数和可煮性之间未发现相关性。本研究结果表明，接种根瘤菌是一种有前景的肥料，因为它价格便宜、易于处理且能改善植物生长和种子质量。添加生物、化学或有机肥料可提高接种效率。一般来说，用氮、硫或鸡粪给蚕豆施肥不仅能促进植物生长和提高产量，还能改善种子质量和营养价值。
