Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Variety Evaluation for Disease Resistance, Yield, and Agronomic Traits in South Gondar, Ethiopia

Table 3

The response of improved faba bean varieties to severity and AUDPC of faba bean diseases in the 2020 and 2021 cropping seasons.

LSD (5%)	0.89	133.03	1.54	74.02
CV (%)	1.88	9.48	5.21	7.15

^aPSI = percent severity index; AUDPC = area under disease progress. CV = coefficient of variance; LSD = least significance difference at a 5% level. The varieties represented by “b, c, d, and e” are statistically different from the variety represented by “a” at 5% level of significance for both traits. The variety represented by “a” has a greater percent severity index and area under the disease progress curve than the other varieties, and this variety is more susceptible than the others.
