The present work aimed to evaluate the yield of two varieties of broad bean according to the application of organic compost and dairy residues. The experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE). The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design in a factorial scheme [(2 x 3) + 4], with two varieties, three forms of organic fertilization plus four additional controls, in three replications. The data were subjected to analysis of variance, and means, compared by Tukey at 5% probability. Dunnett's test was used for comparisons involving additional witnesses and other treatments. The software used for the statistics was SAEG 9.1 SAS 9.0.The highest productivity achieved in the Branquinha variety due to fertilization with dairy residues; it was not possible to verify the difference between organic and mineral fertilization.
