Abstract
The main benefit to peas from seed treatment with fungicides was increased plant stand compared with the untreated control. Metalaxyl was as effective as any other fungicide or combination of fungicides tested to control seed rot [caused by Fusarium solani and Pythium ultimum] and preemergence and postemergence damping-off. Root rot of peas was not affected by any seed treatment chemical tested in the greenhouse or field. Acetone infusion of fungicides into pea seed required less chemical than when applied in slurry.
