“…Foliar crop diseases, such as mycosphaerella blight of pea (Fernández-Aparicio et al 2010;Schoeny et al 2010), ascochyta blight of chickpea (Zhou et al 2023), and chocolate spot of faba beans (Fernández-Aparicio et al 2011;, have been reduced through intercropping. Lower levels of foliar disease likely diminish the need for fungicide application, thereby providing further economic advantages.…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated that intercropping can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of various diseases. For example, intercropping chickpea with flax suppressed Ascochyta blight, which is a worldwide constraint for chickpea production ( Zhou et al., 2023 ). Similar results reported that intercropping can effectively control foliar and soil-borne diseases in CSFL crops ( Schoeny et al., 2010 ; Mousa and El-Sayed, 2016 ; Zhang et al., 2019 ; Lv et al., 2020 ).…”

Although the transition toward a more sustainable agricultural system is sparking the interest of scientists and farmers around the globe, breeding programs are still focusing on optimizing cultivars intended for the monoculture system, and most cultivars available on the market are not suitable for intercropping. The incorporation of versatile cool-season food legumes (CSFLs) in the intercropping system is a promising way toward more diversified and sustainable cropping systems. However, as the selection of good-performing cultivars under sole cropping does not always lead to a good performance in intercropping, the development of an alternative breeding scheme for intercropping is now a necessity. The case study of faba bean–wheat intercropping was used to select for traits associated with better performance of faba bean, resulting in identifying the combined grain yield, 100-seed weight, number of pods per plant, and canopy height as key traits for faba bean–wheat intercropping suitability. Incorporating these traits in the breeding programs would be the cornerstone of the prospective transition.

“…In 2020 alone, 102,000 acres were planted, with 99,200 acres harvested [12]. Despite the economic importance of chickpea cultivation in Montana, this pulse crop faces distinctive challenges arising from biotic factors [13]. The prevalence of soil-borne pathogens, particularly Fusarium spp., is a significant hurdle that contributes to yield-limiting factors in cropping systems worldwide [14].…”

Root rot caused by Fusarium spp. is a significant issue in the chickpea-growing regions of Montana. The specific Fusarium species responsible for the disease and their prevalence remain uncertain. A survey was conducted in 2020 and 2021 to identify Montana’s Fusarium species associated with chickpea. Four hundred and twenty-six Fusarium isolates were recovered from symptomatic chickpea roots across ten counties in the state. Isolates were identified by comparing translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) sequences in the FUSARIUM-ID database. Among the recovered isolates, Fusarium oxysporum was the most prevalent species (33%), followed by F. acuminatum (21%), F. avenaceum (15%), F. redolens (14%), F. culmorum (6%), F. sporotrichioides (6%), Neocosmospora solani (6%), F. equiseti (2%), F. torulosum (0.9%), F. gamsii (0.8%), F. proliferatum (0.2%), F. pseudograminearum (0.2%), and F. brachygibbosum (0.1%). The aggressiveness of a subset of 51 isolates representing various Fusarium spp. was tested on chickpea cv. ‘CDC Frontier’. A non-parametric variance analysis conducted on disease severity ranks indicated that F. avenaceum isolates were highly aggressive. This study reports for the first time that F. gamsii, F. proliferatum and F. brachygibbosum are causal agents of root rot in chickpea in the United States. This knowledge is invaluable for making informed decisions regarding crop rotation, disease management, and developing resistant chickpea varieties against economically significant Fusarium pathogens.
