Abstract
Until recently the cultivation of Vicia faba L. in Europe has declined steadily in favour of more profitable crops. Latterly, however, its importance as an alternative to increasingly expensive imported protein has been recognized by the EEC and a subsidy offered to growers. This, coupled with the prospect of substantially increased yields by the introduction of new techniques, has made the crop economically much more attractive.Keywords
