    Abstract: Faba bean is attacked by a number of fungal diseases, among which Chocolate spot (Botrytis fabae, Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta fabae) and rust (Uromyces vicia faba) are the major ones. Chocolate spot and rust are the major diseases which can reduce yield by about 61 and 21%, respectively. The use of effective synthetic fungicides is one the control ... Show More

    Abstract: The mobilization of water by the plant is one of the main challenges of the moment given the threats of food insecurity whose main cause is climate change. The atmosphere contains moisture at any time of the year in the arid or semi-arid zone. Apart from the underground roots naturally possessed by many plants, there are plants which possess exclus...
