Scope and Contents
This article provides scientific guidance on pest and fungal disease control in pea (matar) cultivation, reflecting mid-20th-century science awareness initiatives aimed at rural farmers. It explains common diseases such as root rot and powdery mildew (bhuri) caused by soil-borne and air-borne fungi. The author recommends planting disease-resistant pea varieties and applying sulphur powder (8–10 kg per acre) during flowering for effective prevention.
