Care In Saving Of Pea Seed
Growers in East Gippsland are urged by the Victorian Department of Agriculture to avoid saving seed from infected crops for sowing. Early sown peas face disease risks amplified by wet conditions, and local seed often carries infections more than outside seed. Use Pea Seed Approval Scheme seed when possible, or import seed if local stock is infected.
