Among biotic factors that attributed for low yield of faba bea, faba bean gall caused by Olpidium viciae was the newly
emerged constraints of production in most faba bean growing in the country. This study was intended: to determine
growth requirement, to research out survival and infectivity of faba bean gall through time. The enquiry was carried
out for two consecutive years 2018 and 2019. Soil and stubble samples were collected from heavily faba bean gall
infected field. Soil sample was stored dry at 4°C and residue samples was stored dry at room temperature after
pulverized until the experiment has been started. The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design
with 3 replications. Treatments were evaluated to estimate the infectivity of soil and stubble infected with faba bean
gall at 4 months intervals in greenhouse with the period o.. View more»
