Rotate crops so there is at least 3 years between Pea crops.
Use seed from a crop that was not infected. Test seed for the disease.
Treat all seed with P-Pickle T, but note that this may fail if more than 12% of seeds are infected.
Apply all foliar fungicide sprays before rain.
Apply first fungicide spray 3-4 weeks after emergence.
Use higher fungicide rates if the disease is observable.
Use fine nozzles at high pressures (4 bar) delivering at least 80 L/ha spray mix.
Control Strategies
Treat seed with 200 mL P-Pickel T per 100 kg seed.
Apply 1 kg/ha mancozeb750 3-4 weeks after planting when rain is expected.
Apply 1 kg/ha mancozeb750 3-4 weeks later when rain is expected. If disease is evident use 1 L/ha chlorothalonil720.
Monitor crop 7-10 days after each rain and if disease is detected apply 1.5 L/ha chlorothalonil720 every three weeks just before rain until pods developed.
When monitoring look for wilting of the upper foliage or small areas of dying plants then search for lesions.
