Faba Bean: Chemistry, Properties and Functionality

Abstract

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a globally important legume cash crop and an important dietary protein source used worldwide for animal and human consumption. However, the global acreage of faba beans has significantly decreased in the past few years due to various biotic and abiotic stressors. Of the stressors are several diseases that lead to yield and quality losses and economic damage. The current book chapter briefly discusses the common fungal, bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases in faba beans. The symptoms, causative agent, disease life cycle, and disease management strategies are examined for each disease. The fungal diseases mentioned include anthracnose, chocolate spot, Sclerotinia stem rot, rust, Ascochyta blight, Pythium root, seed rot and damping-off, seedling blight, Alternaria leaf spot, and Cercospora leaf spot diseases. The bacterial diseases discussed include brown spot, common blight, and halo blight. Further, viral diseases of the bean yellow mosaic virus and parasitic diseases of stem nematode and broom rape are reviewed.
