Abstract

Chemical control of faba bean chocolate spot (Botrytis fabae), Alternaria leaf spot (Alternaria alternata) and rust (Uromyces viciae fa­bae) diseases was studied in field trials during 1989-1990 and 1990-91 growing seasons. The tested fungicides singly or with Dithane M-45 of­fered a sufficient protection against these diseases and increased seed yield over the control. However, the efficiency of spraying Dithane M-45, singly or with other tested fungicide was more effective and reduced leaf spots and rust diseases severity.
