These methods include cultural methods i.e hand removal, flooding, crop rotation, including different crop sequences with clover , flax, femugreek, soybean, maize, lupin and tomoato, sowing date through Novermber and December months and its relationship with soil temperature, depth of faba bean seeds, irrigation frequency and soil additives, solarization, biological control by – Phytomyza orobanchia, breeding for tolerant varieties and chemical control by glyphoste, imazaquin and imazethapyr. These studies coverd a historical period from 1929 until 1998.
