The aim of the study was a comparative analysis of several genotypes of faba bean (Vicia faba L.). The sowing of the seeds was carried out in November. The percentage of overwintering plants was determined. The vegetative behavior of the plants in dynamic as plant height, numbers and length of branches and numbers of leaves were investigated. The generative features of the plants and the yield of the green pods were registered. The results indicate that the plants of the studied genotypes were successfully survived during winter and in the spring, they developed a plant-like shrub with 3 or 4 branches. Differences in generative characteristics of plants were founded. The B1E238 genotype began flowering earlier and have the largest numbers of flowers. This genotype is distinguished also the highest yield of green fruits. The investigated genotypes of faba bean do not have significant differences by morphological features of the fruits and seeds.
