Abstract
Abstract The growth parameters of faba bean and companion weeds were studied during an applied field experiment conducted at the University of Al-Anbar - College of Agriculture at Al-Hamidiah Research Station in the winter grown season of 2020–2021 using four weed control treatments (the weed-free treatment, a weedy check treatment, and two rates of Bentazon spray dose (which were 1 and 2 liters per hectare). Another studied factor was three-row spacing between plants along the grown line (40, 50, and 60 centimeters). The experiment employed a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and was configured as a Split Plot Design with three replications—row spacing in the sub-plots and weed control treatments in the main plots. The results demonstrated that the weed control treatments substantially affected the weed density and growth features of the bean crop. A two-liter ha −1 application of Bentazon was significantly more effective than the weedy treatment for reducing the density of weeds down to 19.86 plants m-2, which was reflected positively across all growth metrics. Compared to the distance of 60 cm, which gave the highest average leaf area of 3882 cm 2 plant −1 , dry weight of the roots, and number of branches per plant, the distance of 40 cm was significantly superior in reducing the weed density to 42.57 plants m −2 and increasing the plant height and leaf area index (3.22). (5.90 branch plant −1 ). There was no statistically significant impact on all of the qualities we looked at from the interaction between the two study components.
