Patógenos emergentes en el cultivo de faba tipo granja en Asturias

Abstract

In SERIDA’s Plant Disease Laboratory, studies have been carried out into diseases that affect white bean (faba granja) farming since it was first created in 1999. Amongst the commonest fungal diseases are black spot, white mould and grey rot, which damage the part of the plant exposed to the air; and fusarium wilt and Rhizoctonia solani, which affects the neck and roots of the plant. Another frequent bacterial disease is known as “brown spot", which our crops have suffered from for years and the common mosaic virus. However, we are not going to discuss any of these diseases here, instead we will look into what we call emerging diseases that have appeared recently or have taken on a special significance in a specific moment.
