biostudies-literatureUnknown13Sisic AA survey across Germany was undertaken from 2016-2019 to evaluate effects of management system (organic vs conventional), pedo-climatic conditions and crop rotation history on faba bean root health status, diversity of major root rot pathogens and yield. Root rot incidence was generally low and there was no effect of the management system on the spectrum of pathogens isolated. Among the most common fungal species identified, frequencies of <i>Fusarium redolens</i> and <i>Didymella pinodella</i> were significantly higher in roots from organic fields compared with conventional and lower was observed for <i>F. avenaceum</i>, <i>F. tricinctum</i> and <i>F. culmorum</i>. Faba bean roots were colonized at similar rates by <i>F. equiseti</i> and the members of the <i>F. oxysporum</i> (FOSC) and <Frontiers in plant science1009906https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9811268biostudies-literatureFarming system effects on root rot pathogen complex and yield of faba bean (<i>vicia faba</i>) in Germany.PMC9811268Bacanovic-Sisic JFinckh MRSisic ASchmidt HfalseFarming system effects on root rot pathogen complex and yield of faba bean (<i>vicia faba</i>) in Germany.A survey across Germany was undertaken from 2016-2019 to evaluate effects of management system (organic vs conventional), pedo-climatic conditions and crop rotation history on faba bean root health status, diversity of major root rot pathogens and yield.
