Non-Chemical Management
- Plant prior to March 31 (approximate date) to avoid infestation by aphids.
- Control aphids.
- Control weeds in and around the garden (particularly those in the pea family) to reduce infection risks.
- Plant enation-resistant varieties such as 'Almoto', 'Aspen', 'Aurora', 'Citation', 'Corvallis', 'Freezer 50', 'Green Sugar', 'Knight', 'Mohawk', 'Oregon Sugar Pod', 'Perfected Freezer 60', 'Prospector', and 'Trident'.
- Plant certified, virus-free seed to reduce chances of seedborne mosaic.
- Do not plant near alfalfa, which is a host for pea streak viruses.
