Pythium
Root Rot (Damping-Off, Seed Rot) (Peas)
 Description: A watery rot is characteristic. Plants are
often stunted and light green because of the lack of
root development.
Solution: Plant
as early in the season as possible. Peas are a cool-season
crop, while pythium disease is most severe at temperatures
from 64°-75°F, which is higher than preferred for pea
germination. Sprinkle SoilGardTM Microbial
Fungicide over seed at time of sowing, before
covering seed with soil.
