Abstract: Pea (Pisum sativum L.), a member of the Fabaceae family, which is widely cultivated for its nutritional and therapeutic benefits. However, it is susceptible to various diseases, notably Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp pisi, which poses significant threats to yield and quality. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology and management of pea Fusarium wilt during the Rabi season of 2024. Fifteen Pea cultivars were screened for resistance under natural epiphytotic conditions. The results revealed varying degrees of susceptibility among the cultivars, with Arka Chaitra identified as moderately resistant. The research underscores the importance of integrating resistant cultivars into management strategies to mitigate the impact of Fusarium wilt on pea production.
