Abstract
Productivity of chickpea (Cicer arietinum), faba bean (Vicia faba), grasspea (Lathyrus sativus), pea (Pisum sativum), and lentil (Lens culinaris) is constrained by various abiotic and biotic stresses in different farming systems. The yield potential of these crops is seldom achieved due to unsuitable cultivars and inadequate crop management to cope with these stresses. Major biotic stresses include diseases, insect pests, and weeds (parasitic and non-parasitic) while major abiotic stresses include extremes of soil moisture (drought or water logging), temperature extremes (heat stress or cold temperature/frost), imbalance in soil fertility (nutrient deficiencies or toxicity including salinity). Specific examples of biotic stresses include: Ascochyta blight and Fusarium wilt of chickpea in South Asia, Mexico, and North Africa; and faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV); and Orobanche on faba bean in Egypt. Specific examples of abiotic stresses include: drought and heat stress of chickpea in West Asia and North Africa, drought stress of lentil in Bulgaria, water logging of lentil in Ethiopia, and high temperature/heat stress on food legumes in Bulgaria and Sudan.
