Table 12

The main effects of RI and P fertilizer rates on number of seeds per pods and thousand seed weight.

Rhizobium strain	No. of seeds per pods	Thousand seed weight (TSW)
Fb17	3.4^b	689.2^b
Fb18	4.37^a	713.5^a
Mean	3.8	705.8
LSD (5%)	0.9	1.47
P level (kg/ha)
0	2.8^c	625.1^e
23	3.75^b	666.8^d
46	4.08^ab	707.3^c
69	4.33^a	735.3^b
92	4.46^a	772.1^a
Mean	3.8	701.37
LSD (5%)	0.56	18.9
CV (%)	12.18	1.12

Means followed by the same letter within the same column of the respective treatment are not significantly different () according to LSD, FB = faba bean, CV = coefficient of variation, LSD = critical range.
