Mycorrhizal associations develop on the roots of fava beans (Kopke and Nemecek. 2010). Chromosome number 2n=12, the genome size (~13 Gb) of fava bean is about double that of closely related species due to many repetitive sequences (Duc, 1997).
In severe cases, chocolate spot can cause devastating effects on faba bean yields. The disease is characterized by small, round, reddish-brown lesions spread across the leaves (Figs. 3, 4). As the disease progresses, symptoms can spread to stems, pods, and flowers (Fig. 5).

9 lip 2021 · In this work, Cladosporium isolates were recorded in cultivated faba bean leaves and pods collected from markets in Qena, Upper Egypt; morphological features and molecular characterization...
Fava bean dry grain production has been extensively described in the literature, here we describe management strategies to grow vegetable fava for fresh pod within the western United States.
Chocolate spot (Botrytis fabae), is the most important fungal disease affecting faba bean. It can infect stems, flowers and pods. It can cause minor losses through to crop failure quickly in unprotected crops under favourable conditions.
Faba bean is an ancient crop which is thought to have originated in Western Asia as early as 7,000 - 4,000 BC. From there it was spread by humans to Europe, Africa and central Asia. Today, faba bean is only known in cultivation and is grown in temperate and subtropical regions of the world and at higher altitudes in the tropics.
