Abstract
This fact sheet provides information on Ascochyta blight of faba bean for commercial growers and home gardeners. Faba bean (Vicia faba, also known as fava bean or broad bean) has been grown in the ancient Near East (present day Iraq, Syria, and neighboring countries) since the Neolithic era (about 8,000 BC). Faba bean is now grown world-wide, but is relatively novel to the United States, where it is grown on small to medium scale farms or by gardeners. Increasingly seen at farmers markets in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), faba bean is marketed primarily to immigrant or ethnic consumers but has potential for wider popularity. Faba bean is mostly grown in the relatively mild climate of the coastal PNW, but selection of cold-hardy breeding lines has expanded the potential of faba bean for the Palouse region of Washington and Idaho, already famous for production of cool season legumes like pea, chickpea, and lentil.
