The effect of inoculum specific to peas (Pisum sativum L.) on the nodulation, acetylene reduction and yield of fababeans (Vicia faba L.) was studied in three experiments. Fababeans, inoculated with pea inoculum or uninoculated (indigenous soil inoculum), were significantly inferior to fababeans inoculated with rhizobia specific for fababeans. Various mixtures of specific and non-specific inoculum (simulating competition between different rhizobia) were tested. One type was favored by slurrying it onto the seed. When favored, the specific fababean inoculum was equally effective with or without competition from non-specific inoculum. Favoring the pea inoculum led to a significant decrease in acetylene reduction, but this was not sufficient to reduce yield. It is concluded that indigenous pea rhizobia in the soil should not reduce nitrogen fixation and yields of fababeans when specific inoculum is slurried onto the seed.

Powdery mildew occurred widely on faba beans (Vicia faba L.) in Manitoba in 1974. Mycelia, and conidia were abundant on both leaf surfaces. The fungus later developed numerous cleistothecia 99–143 μm in diam, with rigid appendages, 128–286 μm in length, dichotomously branched at their apices and ending in recurved tips. Frequently, appendages were contorted and irregularly branched. Cleistothecia contained 5–8 asci. The fungus produced mildew symptoms on Lathyrus ochroleucus Hook., L. odoratus L., L. latifolius L., and Vicia americana Muhl., but failed to infect Lonicera tatarica L., Pisum sativum L., and Syringa vulgaris L. The fungus was identified as Microsphaera penicillata (Wall. ex Fr.) Lév. var. ludens (Salmon) Cooke on the basis of morphological characters and pathogenicity. Lathyrus spp. are new hosts of the fungus. L. ochroleucus and V. americana may be sources of primary inoculum of the fungus in Manitoba. Erysiphe pisi DC. reported to occur on V. faba was not found on any of the specimens.
