<div style="text-align:left">Background: This study was conducted to determine the effects of different doses of leonardite applications on yield and some yield components of spring grown broad beans (Vicia faba L.) in the ecological conditions of Siirt province in 2017 and 2019 in the experimental fields of Siirt University. 
 
Methods: The study was established in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Tested leonardite doses were 0, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 kg ha-1.&nbsp; 
 
Conclusion: The effect of leonardite doses on all of the investigated properties was found statistically significant. According to the results, plant height, first pod height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100 grain weight and grain yields were varied between 45.7-61.3 cm, 10.1-13.2 cm,&nbsp; 5.03-8.00 pieces per plant, 2.63-4.03 pieces per pod, 115.6-131.7 g and 1659-1808 kg ha-1, respectively. In terms of all examined properties in this research, 1000 kg ha-1 leonardite application produced the best result. According to the results obtained from this research, 1000 kg ha-1 leonardite application was recommended for broad bean cultivation in the semi-arid Mediterranean climate conditions on highlands.</div>

<div>Path coefficient analysis provides a much better understanding of the correlation coefficient values. Spad values give information about the state of the leaf. In the study, path coefficient analysis was performed, especially SPAD values in beans. The study was carried out Kahramanmaraş Sutcu Imam University, treatment area in 2021 year. Mispir cultivar and Aydintepe local common bean genotype were used, leonardite and chicken litter and their mixture were used, various doses (3,6,9 t ha-1 and conventional fertilizer (25 kg ha-1 N/64 kg ha-1 P2O5) and control application) were added to the soil. Leaf chlorophyll content was measured in three periods: early leaf (1st SPAD), flowering stage (2nd SPAD), post-flowering (3rd SPAD). In addition, seed yield and biomass yield values were determined. Chicken Manure 3 t ha-1 organic fertilizer application showed the best performance among all applications in terms of seed yield. And the Aydintepe local genotype showed higher performance than the Mispir cultivar for the most of the properties examined.</div>
