Abstract

This investigation was carried out in four winter seasons ; 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21 at Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt to study inter and intra- generation correlations among and between four crosses of faba bean traits under three breeding methods i.e., pedigree, bulk and single pod descent. Positive correlations were detected between F3 selected plants and their progenies of F4 in pedigree method for all traits of the crosses 1, 3 and 4. Significant inter- generation correlations for all traits of the cross 1 under bulk method. Significant inter- generation correlations were detected for all traits in single pod descent. Significant inter- generation correlations in pedigree method for flowering date of the cross1, rust disease of the cross 2, chocolate spot and No. of branches/plant of the cross 3. No Significant correlations were observed in bulk method between F4 and F5 for all traits of all crosses.
