N2  - At least four fungal pathogens are involved in the root rot-Fusarium wilt complex of peas which is a serious problem following intensive cropping of peas in South Australia. The pathogens are Fusarium oxysporum f. pisi race 2 Snyder &amp; Hansen, F. solani f. pisi Snyder &amp; Hansen, Pythium ultimum Trow, and Ascochyta pinodella L. K. Jones. In susceptible pea cultivars there is a marked interaction between F. oxysporum and P. ultimum. P. ultimum alone causes initial stunting from which plants gradually recover; F. OX1Jsporum alone probably CRuses little damage; both fungi together CRuse initial stunting followed by severe wilt symptom about 6 weeks after sowing and death 2 weeks later. The importance ofF. solani and A. pinodella has not been fully determined, but they probably cause only minor damage.
