Abstract
A SERIOUS soil-borne wilt disease of peas has been shown to be caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. pisi (Linf.) Synder and Hansen, and Fusarium oxysporum Fr. emend. Synder and Hansen var. redolens (Wollenw.) Gordon1,2. Both these fungi attack the vascular system of the plant, and a typical internal symptom of the disease is an orange or brick-red discoloration of the vascular tissue.
