Abstract

The author describes several breeding experiments with broad beans (Vicia faba var. major L.) conducted over several years.

Apart from local varieties a few selections were included in the trials. In the last few years a number of plants were bagged and the progenies carefully selected.

The trials learned that the best procedure of maintaining the productivity level is a continuous positive selection in local varieties by increasing the best plats only and keeping the material as pure as possible. If selection is discontinued for one year only, the yield immediately falls back to its original level.

Samenvatting

Schrijver geeft een verslag van diverse proeven met veldbonen.

Behalve de plaatselijk geteelde landrassen werden enkele selecties in de proeven opgenomen. Ieder jaar werden een aantal planten ingehuld en de nakomelingschappen zorgvuldig apart gehouden.

De proeven toonden aan dat de beste methode om het opbrengstniveau te handhaven is een ononderbroken selectie in landrassen door alleen de beste planten te vermeerderen en het materiaal zo zuiver mogelijk te houden. Als men de selectie slechts één jaar achterwege laat valt de opbrengst direct terug op haar oorspronkelijk niveau.
