Breeding for Resistance to Orobanche

  • Chapter
Faba Bean Improvement

Abstract

Faba bean is one of the major hosts of Orobanche crenata Forsk. in Egypt. Infestation varies from a few scattered spikes to a large population almost attacking every bean plant in the field and thus limiting yield considerably. Infested bean fields occur in Egypt throughout the Nile Valley and Delta regions, Fayoom, and the oases in the western desert. Severe attacks of the parasite occur mostly in loamy and silt soils. Recent investigations on control measures include Glyphosate and Pronamide herbicides (30) and some agronomic practices (29).
