The relationships among lodging, stem anatomy, degree of stem lignification, and resistance to mycosphaerella blight (Mycosphaerella pinodes (Berk. & Blox.) Vestergr.) in field pea (Pisum sativum L.) were investigated in field experiments in Saskatchewan from 2000 to 2002. Disease severity, lodging resistance, plant height, internode length and diameter, and the cellulose, lignin, and fibre contents of stems were measured from 9 (2000) and 20 (2001, 2002) cultivars of field pea. Significant differences were observed in resistance to mycosphaerella blight and lodging among cultivars. In all years, ‘AC Tamor’ was among those cultivars with the highest disease ratings and lodging scores, whereas ‘CDC Striker’, ‘Carneval’, and ‘Integra’ were among those with the lowest ratings. Disease severity was positively correlated with lodging scores of plants. Lodging was negatively correlated with the proportions of supportive tissue (formerly parenchyma cells in the pith periphery, which have differentiated to sclerenchyma) and xylem in stem sections, whereas disease ratings were negatively correlated with xylem. Lignin and fibre contents in pea stems were negatively correlated with both lodging and mycosphaerella blight severity. Cellulose content was also negatively correlated with lodging scores. This study establishes an anatomical and biochemical basis for further research into pea stem lodging and disease resistance. Key words: cellulose, fibre, lignin, sclerenchyma, supportive tissue, xylem.

Inoculated field experiments were carried out in 1994 and 1995 to study the effect of the timing of inoculation with Mycosphaerella pinodes (Berk. & Bloxam) Vestergren on disease development, yield reduction and seed infection, in three field pea (Pisum sativum L.) cv. Bohatyr, cv. Scorpio and cv. Triumph. The greatest impact of inoculation on all disease and yield parameters was at the 8–10 node stage in 1994, and at the mid-flowering stage in 1995. The lowest impact of inoculation was at the pod swell stage for both years. When inoculated at 8–10 nodes, mid-flowering and pod swell stages, M. pinodes reduced yield by 31, 24 and 19%, respectively, in 1994 and 33, 43 and 30%, respectively, in 1995. The 1000-seed weight was not affected by the timing of inoculation; however, all inoculations reduced seed weight in both years. Plant-to-seed transmission of M. pinodes was affected by the timing of inoculation in 1994, but not in 1995. Results of this study suggest that prevention of early infection by M. pinodes will provide the best economic return in a mycosphaerella blight control program on field pea. Key words: Mycosphaerella blight, Mycosphaerella pinodes, field pea, Pisum sativum, yield reduction

Mycosphaerella blight, caused by Mycosphaerella pinodes, is the most destructive disease of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) in western Canada. A 3-yr field study conducted at two field locations examined the effect of differences in lodging, growth stage and maturity on disease development among field pea cultivars that possess different forms of partial resistance. Significant differences in disease development, measured as area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC), and as disease severity on the leaves, stems and pods were observed among the field pea cultivars. These measurements of disease development were only influenced by differences in crop maturity in 2005. Only cultivars that were either intermediate or late maturing had low disease severity ratings or AUDPC values. Differences in the degree of lodging had a small inconsistent effect on the mycosphaerella blight ratings. These results suggest that differences in maturity should be considered in order to avoid inadvertent selection for late maturity while evaluating field pea lines or cultivars for mycosphaerella blight resistance. Key words: Mycosphaerella pinodes, field pea, Pisum sativum, maturity, lodging.

The efficacy of chlorothalonil in controlling mycosphaerella blight in field pea was evaluated from 1998 to 2000 using 10 cultivars representing different leaf types, market classes, seed sizes, plant heights, and maturities. Significant differences ( P < 0.05) were observed among cultivars in disease severity, yield, 1000-seed weight (TSW), and seed infection each year. Cultivar × fungicide treatment interactions for these parameters were not significant in any of the 3 yr. Under both chlorothalonil treated and untreated conditions, Radley was the most resistant, while Carrera and Keoma were equally the most susceptible cultivars. A higher efficacy of chlorothalonil treatments was observed in 1999 when disease severity was greater than in 1998 or 2000. On average, chlorothalonil treatments reduced disease severity significantly in 1999 and 2000, but not in 1998. Overall, the fungicide increased yield by 6.4%, and TSW by 0.9–5.1%, which were significant in 1998 and 1999, but not in 2000. Based on 2-yr assessments of seed infection by Mycosphaerella pinodes, chlorothalonil reduced seed infection by 19.2%, which was significant in 1999, but not in 2000. Chlorothalonil treatments provide a greater benefit in years when disease pressure and yield potential are high.

Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) acreage has expanded rapidly in the past 10 yr in the Peace River Region of Alberta as well as western Canada. Understanding nitrogen dynamics of Rhizobium inoculants and applied N will provide farmers opportunities to improve N nutrition of field pea. Field experiments were conducted (a) to compare the effects of soil inoculation using granular inoculant, and seed inoculation using peat powder and liquid inoculants with an uninoculated check, on field pea nodulation and N2 fixation, and (b) to determine whether starter N is required by field pea to enhance N2 fixation. The effects of inoculant formulation on nodule number, N accumulation and N2 fixation were in the order: granular > peat powder > liquid = uninoculated. Field pea, from soil-applied inoculant, accumulated more N prior to and during podfilling than field pea with seed-applied inoculant. Fertilizer N application rates < 40 kg N ha-1 had no significant effects on biomass N at flatpod, indicating that starter N was not necessary. Application rates greater than 40 kg N ha-1 reduced nodulation, but the total amounts of N accumulated by plants did not vary. The close proximity of a highly concentrated band of N fertilizer had a greater impact on nodulation and subsequent N2 fixation than the residual soil N level. Under field conditions, soil-applied inoculant improved N nutrition of field pea compared to seed-applied inoculation, with or without applied urea-N. Key words: Granular inoculant, Pisum sativum, Rhizobium, inoculation, field pea, nodulation, N2 fixation
