Abstract

Aphanomyces euteiches was found to be the causal agent of faba bean root rot in northern NSW, both in experimental and commercial fields. Resistance to Aphanomyces root rot appears to be common in the faba bean germplasm pool, but the susceptibility of some varieties justifies further research on the pathogen. This is the first report of A. euteiches as a faba bean pathogen in Australia.
