Pea wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi). 1  Plants appear stunted and may become discoloured before shrivelling and dying. 2  Wilt is a soil-borne disease which can occur in any pea growing area. 3  It is generally confined to fields with a very long history of peas and may occur in patches or individual plants. Stems collapse in a watery soft rot. 2  Infected stems and pods may contain black, elongated resting bodies. 3  The disease affects peas, spring beans, oilseed rape, linseed, and sometimes potatoes and certain field vegetables. 4  See Technical Update TU12.
