Lentil, field pea, chickpea and faba bean all suffer from fungal diseases known as "ascochyta blight". Each crop is affected by a different species of ascochyta. As a result, lentil ascochyta will not spread to pea nor will pea ascochyta spread to lentil. 2, record 1, English, - ascochyta%20blight

Ascochyta Blight of Faba Bean. Leaf spots are grey to brown, oval, and up to 1 cm in diameter with definite margins. Small, black pycnidia form in the center of lesions, often in a concentric ring pattern. Leaf spots may merge into irregular black patches causing a blighted appearance. Stem lesions are more elongated, usually sunken and reddish brown. Pod lesions are often sunken, tan to black, and frequently have darker margins. Infected seed may be discoloured and shrivelled. 3, record 2, English, - ascochyta%20blight%20of%20faba%20bean

Broad beans are sometimes classified into subspecies according to varieties and their uses in various countries. Thus, subspecies faba var. minor is the beck, tick, or pigeon bean, greatly used for human consumption in the Arabic world, but also used for animal forage, like the horse bean(var. equina) specifically fed to horses. The broad bean proper, also known as Windsor or straight bean, is var. major. 4, record 3, English, - broad%20bean

In much of the world, the name broad bean is used for the large-seeded cultivars grown for human food, while horse bean and field bean refer to cultivars with smaller, harder seeds (more like the wild species) used for animal feed, though their stronger flavour is preferred in some human food recipes, such as falafel. 5, record 3, English, - broad%20bean

The faba bean(Vicia faba minor) is an ancient, cultivated, small-seeded relative of the garden broadbean(V. faba major). It is thought to have originated in west or central Asia. The faba bean is grown mainly in Europe where it is primarily used as a livestock feed, however, it is an important winter crop for human consumption in the Middle East. 4, record 6, English, - faba%20bean
