Anyone want to talk peas and desease?

There are several studies like this , some done several years ago .

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5770481/

This is one of many but what studies are valid and not is very debatable.
Take it for what’s its worth , some of this has been fairly heavily scrutinized so take from it what you will .

Regardless of the debate it does point back to soil health and its importance on disease severity ... that’s the point .
If we can learn to mitigate unfavourable soil bacteria / fingus relationships then we can get a handle on some of these problems cost effectively?
Not sure but one needs to start somewhere.
Trying to fix the problem with more inputs after the fact will get us no where as producers .

What would spraying on decomp. Or something like it that speeds up decomposition do for soil health?

I don’t think we should have to have a 10 year rotation and second even with that when you spray and then get a wet period or dry where you miss with the sprayer the peas are a foot taller and dark green that’s nothing to do with rotation length.

It’s a combination of many factors

Ten years between pea crops?
That's niche. Not rotation.

Like I said, give me root rot resistance in the genes, not a poor remedy in a jug.

10% peas is enough for me any year

First time I used viper on my peas...I noticed the skips ..rep said it won't affect yield....never used it again...

i told you that two years ago

I have no answers,

- Farming in saskatchewan is about 100 years old, most of that time was 50:50 rotation
- maximum 25 years experience or history growing pulses

How can India, Turkey etc who have been growing pulses for centuries survived?
- what, how and why have they maintained pulses in rotation ?

Spray in the dark of night... preferably when they look blue from all the dew. Efficacy on weeds is better, and the peas never look back.

They're not "easy".

That’s something that gets overlooked big time .
