Field experiments were carried out in 1992-1994 to study the effect of sowing density (30, 40, 50 and 60 germinating seeds per 1 m2) upon growth, health and yield of four cultivars of faba bean - Nadwiślański, Pionier, Dino and Tinos. Plant densities have resulted in higher plant infection (Botrytis cinerea, B. fabae, Ascochyta fabae). Cultivars Nadwiślański and Dino gave the highest yield of seed, whereas the lowest cv. Tinos. The most effective appeard to be density of 30 plants/1 m2 in the case of cv. Nadwiślański and for another tested cultivars 40 plants/ m2 .
