“…Resistance to chocolate spot is quantitative, and at best is partial in nature. Germplasm resistant to chocolate spot are mostly from the Andean region of Ecuador and Colombia [37,38] with relatively few other accessions with a good level of resistance, for example from the Maghreb [39]. The most chocolate spot resistant lines from the Andean region are characteristically very late flowering and maturing when sown in autumn in a Mediterranean-type environment, such as in southern Australia.…”

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a major food and feed legume because of the high nutritional value of its seeds. The main objectives of faba bean breeding are to improve yield, disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, seed quality and other agronomic traits. The partial cross-pollinated nature of faba bean introduces both challenges and opportunities for population development and breeding. Breeding methods that are applicable to self-pollinated crops or open-pollinated crops are not highly suitable for faba bean. However, traditional breeding methods such as recurrent mass selection have been established in faba bean and used successfully in breeding for resistance to diseases. Molecular breeding strategies that integrate the latest innovations in genetics and genomics with traditional breeding strategies have many potential applications for future faba bean cultivar development. Hence, considerable efforts have been undertaken in identifying molecular markers, enriching genetic and genomic resources using high-throughput sequencing technologies and improving genetic transformation techniques in faba bean. However, the impact of research on practical faba bean breeding and cultivar release to farmers has been limited due to disconnects between research and breeding objectives and the high costs of research and implementation. The situation with faba bean is similar to other small crops and highlights the need for coordinated, collaborative research programs that interact closely with commercially focused breeding programs to ensure that technologies are implemented effectively

“…Faba beans ( Vicia faba L.) are an important crop in organic agricultural systems as a valuable nitrogen source in crop rotations (Lampkin, 1994), as vegetable fertilisers (Müller & von Fragstein und Niemsdorff, 2006) or as a protein source for livestock and for human consumption (Saxena, 1991). Bean yield is sensitive to drought but can also be limited by the incidence of insect pests and diseases (Bond et al , 1994; López‐Bellido et al ., 2005). Although not much is known on the particular economic importance of aphids and aphid‐transmitted viruses in organic faba beans, yet these can cause relevant damage to the crop (Lampkin, 1994; Hoffmann & Schmutterer, 1999).…”

The effect of sowing date on aphid infestation and the incidence of aphid-transmitted viruses were investigated in organically managed, small-scale field experiments with two faba bean cultivars over 3 years . As an additional factor, straw mulch was applied in 2 of the 3 years shortly before the start of vector activity in May. Virus incidence was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoelectron microscopy. Aphid flight activity was monitored using standard yellow water traps. Bean colonising aphids were assessed throughout the vegetation period by counting the number of plants infested with Acyrthosiphon pisum, Megoura viciae and Aphis fabae. Pea enation mosaic virus and bean yellow mosaic virus were the most abundant aphid-transmitted viruses, being detected in 22-54% and 9-69%, respectively, of the total number of virus-infected plants analysed per year. Further aphid-transmitted viruses found in faba bean were bean leaf roll virus, beet western yellows virus, clover yellow vein virus (in 2002) and soybean dwarf virus (in 2004). A. pisum was the predominant aphid species colonising faba bean plants. Early sowing compared with late sowing led to a significant reduction of the total virus incidence in faba bean in all 3 years. However, significantly decreased levels of A. pisum colonisation as a result of early sowing were observed only in 1 year and one cultivar. Irrespective of sowing date, straw mulching had no significant effects on virus incidence and aphid colonisation. Compared with late sowing, early sowing significantly increased bean yield in all 3 years and kernel weight in 2 years, whereas straw mulching had no effect on yield.

“…Faba bean is generally a rainfed crop grown in areas receiving more than 400 mm of rainfall, but in drier regions, it is generally irrigated (Saxena, 1985). Faba bean has a shallow root system with little osmoregulation and is very sensitive to high temperatures and water stress, particularly during anthesis and pod filling (Grashoff and Verkerke, 1991; Bond et al, 1994; Xia, 1994). For this reason, faba bean is often grown under irrigation in many dry parts of the world and until recently was only considered suitable for production in Mediterranean‐type environments with high rainfall (>400 mm yr −1 ) (Walton and Trent, 1988; ICARDA, 1994).…”
