Abstract
Faba bean rust (Uromyces viciae-fabae) is host specific, meaning it does not infect cereals or other break crops. The rust is not widespread in Western Australia but low to moderate levels occur in the Esperance and Katanning regions. Individual crops suffer yield losses in some years.
Rust has also been recorded in the high rainfall region in the northern agricultural area, around Dongara.
This page summarises the symptoms, infection cycle, disease risk and spread, and management recommendations for faba bean rust disease.
