Surveys for faba bean chocolate spot disease covering 6 districts in Delta of Egypt were conducted. Out of these surveys, six isolates of the pathogen were obtained and purified using single spore technique. These isolates were identified as Botrytis fabae. All isolates were subjected to pathogenicity tests to determine the most aggressive one. All isolates appear to have the potency to cause chocolate spot disease, but the isolate from Sherbin was considered to be the most aggressive one and was selected for further studies. In vitro, the effect of provided phenolic compounds on inhibition of mycelia growth and the growth rate of B. fabae was investigated and arranged as follows: salicylic acid > Shikimic acid > shikimic acid+salicylic acid, as compared to control values. Furthermore, significant reduction in the disease incidence (%) and sever.. View More»
