Abstract
Intensive systematic survey of root-rot/wilt diseases of faba bean, lentil and chickpea in the two governorates; Beheira (north Egypt) and Assiut (middle Egypt) were done twice in Jan-Feb. and in March -April 1996. Fungi associated with diseased samples collected from surveyed fields were isolated, identified and kept in' stock cultures for further studies. Also, pathogenic potential of the most important isolated fungi were determined in the three crops. Obtained data indicate that, the major fungal diseases affecting legume crops in Egypt are root-rot caused by Fusarium solani in faba bean, vascular wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum in lentil, and Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in chickpea.
