Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Monoterpene-treated faba bean plants showed a notable reduction in chocolate spot disease severity in field trials.
- Intervention effect Monoterpene application enhanced the activity of defense enzymes (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase) in faba bean.
- Intervention effect Monoterpene treatments significantly improved growth and yield characters of faba bean.
- Recommendation Tested monoterpenes could serve as a control strategy for managing B. fabae in faba beans.
