  Faba bean is multi-purpose crop that plays an important role in the socio-economic life of farming communities. Chocolate spot disease, caused by Botrytis fabae is one of the yields limiting factor of this crop resulting in yield losses up to 68% in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the prevalence of chocolate spot (Botrytis fabae) of faba bean (Vicia faba) and to manage chocolate spot (Botrytis fabae) disease through host resistance and fungicide spray frequencies in Dabat district during the 2022/2023 cropping season. For the field experiment, the treatments were three faba bean varieties (Local, Wolki and Hachalu) with four fungicide spraying frequency including (Unsprayed, 1 times spray, 2 times spray and 3 times spray) of Trust Cymocop 439.5% WP at 1.5 kg/ha. It was arranged in randomized complete block design in 3 × 4 factor.. View more»
