Recently there has been a renewed interest in the optimization and development of legume cultivation technologies in many European Countries. By choosing the species which fit well the local soil and weather conditions might be an excellent solution to obtain a high fodder and grain yield. Field trials with faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and faba bean spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) mixture were conducted to evaluate the effect of seed inoculation with Rhizobium strain on the productivity of faba bean and its mixture with spring wheat. The study was conducted at two sites, Joniškėlis Experimental Station (site I) and Vėžaičiai Branch (site II) of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry. The findings obtained in site I revealed that the dry matter (DM) yield of crops at the pod development stage averaged 7575 kg ha -1 and the grain yield averaged 6067 kg ha -1 ; the corresponding values for site II were 5684 kg ha -1 and 4937 kg ha -1 , respectively. In most cases, the content of nutrients crude proteins, crude fat, crude fibre, neutral detergent fibre, and crude ash in the biomass was higher in site I. The faba bean – spring wheat mixture produced a higher grain yield and a higher metabolizable energy content in grains compared with the faba bean grown as a sole crop; other measured parameters did not reveal the superiority of the mixture over the sole faba bean. Rhizobium spp. application had a positive impact by increasing the above-ground biomass DM yield and grain yield in a sole crop as well as in a mixture with wheat.
