蚕豆在我省种植面积較大,地方品种类型很多。由于农民长期培育和选择的結果,一般都具有适合当地栽培的特性,但各有其优缺点,又由于蚕豆不是主要作物,容易被人忽視,以致生产上所用品种大多良莠不齐,混杂严重。因此,系統地整理蚕豆地方品种,鉴定其特征特性,分別类型肯定良种,并測定其区域性,应用于生产,乃是一件十分重要的工作。本試驗的一百二十五个蚕豆地方品种,是由安徽省农业厅在各县征集的。这些材料按我省的自然区域划分,每一区域所搜集的品种数目如表一。 Broad beans in our province planted a larger area, many types of local varieties. As a result of long-term cultivation and selection of peasants, they generally have characteristics suitable for local cultivation. However, each has its own advantages and disadvantages and is easily neglected due to the fact that broad beans are not the main crops. As a result, most of the varieties used in the production are mixed and mixed seriously. Therefore, it is a very important task to systematically sort out the local varieties of Vicia faba, characterize their characteristics, determine the types of seeds for each type, determine their regionalities, and apply them to the production. One hundred and twenty-five Vicia faba varieties tested in this experiment were collected by Anhui Provincial Department of Agriculture in all counties. These materials are classified according to the natural regions of our province. The number of varieties collected in each region is shown in Table 1.
