2. How do you control yellow top disease when it appears during pea planting?

1. Symptoms of pea yellow top disease

Once peas suffer from yellow top disease, it will affect the yield. After this disease appears, it causes the whole pea plant to grow slowly, the plant to be short and small, and the tips of newly grown leaves to curl, shrink, and turn yellow. In the early stage of infection, it causes peas not to form pods, and gradually the whole plant will wither and die.

The virus of yellow top disease generally overwinters by parasitizing living hosts, and then spreads the virus with the help of pea aphids. Aphids carrying the virus can stay on pea leaves and suck sap for three hours, and then the virus will lurk on the pea leaves. The disease will appear after about a few days or more than ten days, depending specifically on the temperature during the pea growing period, the pea variety, and so on. This virus does not only appear on peas; crops such as soybeans and common beans are also harmed by it.

2. Control methods for pea yellow top disease

Pea yellow top disease has a very big impact on growers, and may lead to a situation where there is no harvest. To prevent this disease from occurring, the following steps must be taken:

First, choose varieties with relatively strong disease resistance for planting. Besides that, also choose suitable varieties according to the local geographical environment and climatic conditions, rather than assuming that choosing high-yielding varieties is a universal solution.

Second, observe the growth state of the peas more often at ordinary times. If diseased plants are found, pull them out in time to avoid infecting healthy plants.

Third, since aphids are the culprit that spreads the virus, it is necessary to guard against the appearance of this pest and spray promptly to kill it.
