Can powdery mildew be controlled?
Resistant varieties are a good control option for disease management, along with good crop rotations. Resistant varieties are completely resistant to powdery mildew and many of the new varieties are resistant. The disease may be controlled with a fungicide application. Even after fungicide application, monitor the disease growth. Another application may be required in 7-10 days if control was not obtained. However, deciding to control depends on the value of your crop, and the stage of the crop when the disease shows up. Field Pea Diseases Kumulus DF-BASF pdf. 79 KB Headline- BASF pdf.
