Abstract

A popular leguminous crop, faba bean (Vicia faba L.), is rich in micronutrients and cool-tolerant. It is cultivated across several countries, including Australia, China, Ethiopia, France, and United Kingdom. The primary purpose of its cultivation is to provide digestible and valuable protein-rich food for human consumption and animal feed. This crop also improves soil quality and contributes to sustainable agriculture by fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiosis with Rhizobium. Fababean cultivated area is around 2.57 million-hectare and production 5.4 million tonnes across 38 countries around the globe. In India, it is grown as a minor crop mainly as a garden crop. Faba beans’ adaptability and productivity are severely limited by diseases and pests. Severe diseases of faba bean caused by fungi, viruses, nematodes, and parasitic weeds have an effect on seed yields. Genetics and genomics research on fababean genotypes provides the opportunity to develop disease-tolerant, high-yielding genotypes. Disease-resistant varieties could be generated through the use of resistant/tolerant sources in breeding programs. In order to successfully apply biotechnology to disease resistance, a complete understanding of fababean biology is required. In this chapter, we discuss the major biotic stresses facing the crop and how they can be managed to improve the adaptability and productivity.
