B. Ram et Cs. Prasad, ASSESSMENT OF LOSSES BY POWDERY MILDEW, ERYSIPHE-POLYGONI (DC) ON PEA, National Academy Science Letters, 17(9-10), 1994, pp. 175-177
The extent of loss in seed yield of pea due to powdery mildew, Erysiph
e polygoni (DC) was studied. The plant characters studied were higher
in the protected crop. The loss in seed yield ranges from 5.37 to 50.9
8% depending upon the variety. The early maturing variety 'Arkel' may
be preferred over the medium maturity varieties like VL-I and Bonnevil
le for seed production in the hot valleys.
