Abstract
The genetic parameters for seed yield with its components and the resistance to infestations by some insect pests viz., Liriomyza congesta and Aphis craccivora were assessed in complete diallel crosses between six parents of faba bean. Highly significant differences among the six parents and their offspring F1s were detected in all investigated characters.
