The research was conducted at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation – National Research Institute in Pulawy. Plants were cultivated in Mitscherlich pots containing a mixture of soil and sand: 5 and 2 kg/pot, respectively. The first row factor were two faba bean genotypes: Nadwiślański – traditional and Tim – determinate type, and the second row factor was the type the water used to water the plants: non-magnetized and magnetized water. Water conditioned by magnetization improved faba bean varieties seed yield. Yield increase was a consequence of a greater number of pods and a grater number of seeds per plant. However, a thousand seed weight did not change significantly.
