How to Treat Peas That Have ‘Wilt’

Our green peas were growing great, and now a lot of the plants are drying up and dying before the peas have fully ripened. Very frustrating! From research, it sounds like they have ‘wilt’. Is there anyway to treat them?

Yes, this correct. They likely do have wilt. There is nothing to be done for them. The best thing you can do is pull them out and destroy them. Do not compost them. Also, you should not plant peas in that location for at least 2 years as the disease will stay in the soil for at least that long.
