Rust disease was found on broad bean (Vuia faba) in several farmer's fields located in Changseon-myon, Nam-hae-gun, Gyeongnam province in Korea. The infection rate of the disease in the surveyed area was 84.3% in 2002. The typical symptoms of the disease appeared first as small, white spots on leaves, stems and pods. Spots, then turn brownish, their edges rised slightly, and powdery mass of yellowish brown spores revealed on them. Severely infected leaves were eventually defoliated. Uredospores were light brown in color, ellipsoid or ovoid in shape and 24~38$\times$21~26 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. Teliospores were dark brown in color, ellipsoid or ovoid in shape and 22~42$\times$17~27 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. Pedicels were sienna to luteous in color and 52~116 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. The causal fungus was identified as Uromyces viciae-fabae, based on morphological characteristics. This is the first report on the rust of broad bean caused by Uromyces viciae-faae in Korea.

Since 1993, a total of 50 problematic plant diseases unrecorded in Korea were surveyed in Gyeongnam province. Totally 34 new host plants to corresponding pathogens investigated in this study were 5 fruit trees, 9 vegetables, 12 ornamental plants, 3 industrial crops, and 5 medicinal plants. Among the newly recorded fruit tree diseases, fruit rot of pomegranate caused by Coniella granati and Rhizopus soft rot of peach caused by Rhizopus nigricans damaged severely showing 65.5% and 82.4% infection rate. Among the vegetable diseases, corynespora leaf spot of pepper caused by Corynespora cassiicola and the crown gall of pepper caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, powdery mildew of tomato caused by Oidiopsis taurica were the most severe revealing 47.6%, 84.7%, and 54.5% infection rate in heavily infected fields, respectively. In ornamental plants, collar rot of lily caused by Sclerotium rolfsii, gray mold of primula caused by Botrytis cinerea, soot leaf blight of dendrobium caused by Pseudocercospora dendrobium, sclerotinia rot of obedient plant caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum showed 32.7 to 64.8% disease incidence. On three industrial plants such as sword bean, broad bean, and cowpea, eight diseases were firstly found in this study. Among the diseases occurring on broad bean, rust caused by Uromyces viciae-fabae and red spot caused by Botrytis fabae were the major limiting factor for the cultivation of the plant showing over 64% infection rate in fields. In medicinal plants, anthracnose of safflower caused by Collectotrichum acutatum was considered the most severe disease on the plant and followed by collar rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii.(중략)
