Aims

To report on bacterial blight in field pea.

Key messages

Prevention of bacterial blight (BB):

  • In frost prone areas, sow field pea varieties that have some resistance against BB
  • Use seed that was harvested from a crop that was free of BB
  • Do not apply herbicides to the crop if there is a risk of frost as this can increase the
  • risk of BB

If bacterial blight infects a crop:

  • Do not drive over the paddock as bacteria will spread on wheels of vehicle
  • Harvest the infected pea crop after uninfected crops, to prevent spread of bacteria
  • through the harvester to other pea seed
  • Do not spread stubble or hay from the infected crop to other paddocks as bacteria
  • will survive in the stubble
  • Do not keep pea seed for next years’ crop
  • No sprays or seed dressings can control BB effectively
