Abstract
Screening of Faba Bean Lines against Black Root Rot Caused by Fusarium solan
Highlights
The total cultivated land allocated for faba bean in Ethiopia is 457,559 ha with total production of 7, 147,960 quintals and the national average yield is 15.62 quintals/ha [1]
The production of faba bean (Vicia faba L) is constrained by several biotic and abiotic stresses and black root rot caused by Fusarim solani (Mart) Appel & Wollenw is one of the most important biotic stresses in the major faba bean growing areas [2,3]
Field grown beans are highly destructed by Fusarium solani [4]
Summary
The total cultivated land allocated for faba bean in Ethiopia is 457,559 ha with total production of 7, 147,960 quintals and the national average yield is 15.62 quintals/ha [1]. Field grown beans are highly destructed by Fusarium solani [4]. Use of resistant varieties is the most inexpensive and sustainable management option for the control of faba bean root rots. As a result of efforts made through national and regional faba bean improvement programs, four resistant varieties: Wayu (Wayu 89-5), Selale (Selale Kasim 91-13), Lalo (Selale Kasim 89-4) and Dagm (Grarjarso 89-8) were developed and released in 2002 [9].
