Faba bean disease management
• Grain yield of the two faba bean varieties PBA Nasma and PBA Samira was very high, with an average yield of 6.2 t/ha.
• Chocolate spot disease severity was low across the trial.
• Fungicide application reduced chocolate spot severity in both varieties.
• The low level of chocolate spot infection did not reduce yield.
• PBA Nasma had slightly more chocolate spot infection than PBA Samira.
• PBA Samira (6.4 t/ha) yielded slightly more than PBA Nasma (6.1 t/ha).
