¹ Treatment codes are as follows: M = Misr3 faba bean cultivar (tolerant to broomrape parasitism), S = Sakha3 faba bean cultivar (sensitive to broomrape parasitism C -Control (without treatments), 1-Spraying with 10% solution of SMSE, 2-Spraying + soil amendment with 10% solution of SMSE, 3-Soil amendment with 10% solution of SMSE, 4-Spraying with 10% solution of MCF, 5-Spraying + soil amendment with 10% MCF, 6-Soil amendment with 10% MCF, 7-Spraying with Roundup (144 cm³ ha⁻¹); ² Least Significant Difference, determined at 5% probability. The presence of asterisks indicates that there were statistically significant differences between treatments. ** p < 0.01.
