In field trials at Shambat and Wad Medani, Sudan, the effect of sowing date (10 Oct and 7 Nov 1982), watering interval (7 and 14 days), and intercropping with sorghum or maize was studied. At both locations, delaying the sowing date from October to November, and watering at 7-day intervals increased the faba bean yield and reduced the incidence of root-rot/wilt disease complex. Intercropping with both the cereal crops although succeeded in reducing the incidence of root-rot/wilt disease complex, it failed to improve faba bean yield as compared to the pure stand
