Abstract

An experiment for controlling root-rot/wilt diseases in faba bean, lentil and chickpea has been carried out in pots at Giza Res. Station. Two cultivars from each crop, two fungicides and two pathogeric fungi plus mixture were used to study the interaction between all of them. Results showed that, the interaction between fungicides, fungi, and cultivars were significant in faba bean and lentil crops, and not sig­nificant in chickpea crop. Also, it indicated that fungicides were effective in controlling these diseases in the three crops especially in the seedling stage. The effect of cultivars on the incidence of the diseases were var­ied from crop to another.
