The rust pustules were initially light brown colour which later turns into dark brown. After aging, rust pustules become corky encrustation on leaves. Under microscope, the rust spores were observed and confirmed with the presence of uredospores and teliospores. Uredia are yellowish- brown colour, round with double layers. Whereas the telia were elongated dark brown in colour with elongated stalk. It is a first report of rust disease on faba bean in North-East India.
