Abstract

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is the oldest cultivated plant in the world, rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidant compounds. This study aimed to characterize some economically important faba bean cultivars based on agro-morphological, technological, and mineral properties using multivariate analysis methods. The research was carried out for two years in the trial land of Erciyes University Agricultural Research and Application Center located in the central campus of Erciyes University in 2021 and 2022. The trial was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The spacing was set at 50 cm between rows and 20 cm within rows, with 1 m spacing between plots and blocks, and a plot length of 4 m. The study determined significant positive correlations with plant height trait, wet volume, wet weight, dry weight, water absorption capacity, dry volume, 100-grain weight, and Na content of the grain. Based on the angle and correlation values of the axes in the same region with the Zn axis, Cu, protein ratio, Ca, P, cooking time, and S showed positive correlations, while the number of pods, Mn, and hydration coefficient showed negative correlations. Based on the angle and correlation values from the axes in the same region as the swelling index, water absorption index, Mn, hydration coefficient, the number of pods, Mg, and unite weight showed a positive correlation, while it showed a negative correlation with cooking time. The cluster analysis performed to define the genetic relationship between the varieties determined that 11 varieties were divided into 3 different clusters based on their morphological, technological, and mineral characteristics.
