D. J. Hagedorn THE pea (Pisum sativum L.) seed planted for canning and freezing by food processors is for the most part treated with seed protectant by supplying seedsmen. This application of fungicide by large treating machines is the last seed processing step before bagging for shipment. Either dry applications of powder formulations or, more commonly, slurry treatments with wettable powders are made. The resultant effectiveness of this seed treating operation depends upon several factors including efficiency of the treating machine, reliability of its operator, and kind and amount of seed protectant used.
