Abstract

         Common bean rust is wide spread in different governorates in Egypt . Disease severity varied among the governorates whereas Ismailia showed the highest disease levels, while, Giza exhibited  the lowest infection. Different cultivars bean showed different disease reaction, whereas Amy and Concessa were resistant, while Paulista was the highly susceptible. Protective spraying against the disease, using different nutritive salts, growth regulators and contact and systemic fungicides was much more effective than curative spraying for disease control and yield quality and quantity. Integrated management using potassium sulphate(as a salt). Ethyphone (as a growth regulator), micronized sulphur (contact fungicide) and Sumi Eight (systemic fungicide) achieved lower disease occurrence and higher yield. Alternation in using the different tested materials gave better results than repeated application of any of those materials alone.
