%X Faba bean is suffered
with many biotic and abiotic factors. Chocolate spot disease, caused by <i>Botrytis
fabae</i> is one of the biotic factors limiting yields of this crop resulting
in yield losses up to 68% in Ethiopia. The </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">experiment w</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">as</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> conducted</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> during 2020/2021
cropping season at Tach Gayint district, Ethiopia to determine the integration
of faba bean varieties and fungicide rates on reducing chocolate spot disease. </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">The experiment consisted
of 1</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">2</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> treatments, viz. three </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">faba bean</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> varieties and </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">four rate
of Mancozeb fungicide </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">in
factorial arrangement. The experiment was laid out as randomized complete block
design (RCBD) with three</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> replications. Data was
collected and analyzed.</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">Results indicated that, disease incidence was
reached at maximum percentage in all treatments on the last dates of
assessment. But treatments were significantly difference in severity level. </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">The least disease severity was recorded from varieties treated by 3.5</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">kg/ha of Mancozeb 80%</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">WP with mean values Walki
(12.7%), and (18.1% and 20.8%) on Gora and local variety respectively at the
final dates of disease assessment. Similarly,
the reduced AUDPC was also recorded from varieties treated by</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">3.5</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">kg/ha of Mancozeb 80% WP with mean values Walki
(371.8% unit/day) and (539</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">%</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> and
686.4% days) on varieties Gora, and Local respectively. Whereas the maximum
disease severity and AUDPC were obtained from unsprayed plots. Based on the
results obtained, variety Walki treated with Mancozeb 80% WP at rate of 2.5 <a name=\"_Hlk78254929\"></a>kg/ha and
