Broad beans are the only vegetable that I grow that don't get pests
and diseases. Other than blackfly of course if they are sown in
spring. I sow most of mine in autumn. I get the odd one or two with
blackfly so I nip the tops off instead of eating them. The rest are
fine.

Oh, yes, they do. I lost most of my crop one year to rust; there
are viruses that can affect them; and they fairly often get various
root and stem rots. Yes, those rarely do more than kill a few
plants and reduce the crop, but occasionally they can destroy one.

Chocolate spot used to decimate mine in Devon.
