Growth, light interception and disease in field bean (Vicia faba): the effect of late infection by Ascochyta fabae

Abstract: Growth and light interception were measured in field beans (Vicia faba) infected by Ascochytu fubue under field conditions. Despite late infection, disease reduced the leaf area index and the dry matter production of the crop. The main effect was due to a decrease of leaf area duration, which resulted in shorter duration of growth and lower final dry weights. The reduction in seed yield was significant, representing a decrease of 15% compared with a prophylactic fungicide treatment. The data are consistent wit… Show more

“…In comparisons of diseased with healthy plants, mass per seed is the principal component determining yield differences (MADEIRA et al 1988), but in healthy plants that principal component is normally pod number (ISHAG 1973, NEWTON andHILL 1987). Thus considerable attention has been paid to factors associated with abscission of young bean pods.…”

“…The reproductive capability of infected plants is often decreased : effects include a decrease in seed production (Paul & Ayres, 1986b, e ;Madeira, Clark & Rossall, 1988;Hasan & Aracil, 1991) and a reduction in germination (Emge, Melching & Kingsolver, 1981 ;Alexander & Burdon, 1984;Madeira et al, 1988;Hasan & Aracil, 1991). Many smut fungi (Hodges, 1971 ;Lee, 1981 ;Jennersten et al, 1983 ;Alexander & Antonovics, 1988;Alexander, 1990;Jennersten & Kwak, 1991 ;Ericson et al, 1993) and some rusts (Roy, I 993) sterilize their hosts, with implications for population maintenance.…”

“…Solar radiation data used to compute photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) were obtained from a nearby weather station. Photosynthetically active radiation was calculated assuming 45% of the total solar radiation as PAR (10) 12). Linear interpolations of LAI were used for days between dates of LAI measurements including emergence date, when LAI and dry biomass were assumed to be zero.…”
