Abstract: Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens (Cff), has been on EPPO's A2 list since 1975 and is a threat mainly to plants in the bean family. It most often infects common beans, causing a disease called bacterial wilt of beans. The presence of the pathogen was found in Poland in 1983 and these are the only data on the occurrence in the country. The pathogen was present in Germany no complete data on its presence in other neighboring countries. Legumes, which are part of the legume family, are known as markers of a sustainable diet. The cultivation of legumes, due to their characteristics, supports sustainable agriculture, and requires much less water compared to the cultivation of cereals or other protein sources. Organizations such as FAO, WHO and WWF, assume an increased share of plant-based products in daily nutrition. It is therefore to be expected that the area under cultivation of crops from the bean family will increase, which is associated with an increasing likelihood of Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens. The agrophage threat assessment was prepared due to the possibility of importation of new isolates with seeds and the increasing importance of host plants.
