A new type of Fusarium wilt of peas (designated race 5) was observed in northwest Washington during the growing seasons 1963 through 1969. Symptoms on individual plants and the disease pattern in the field are identical to race 1; however, pea cultivars resistant to races 1, 2, and 4 of Fusarium oxysporum f. pisi are susceptible to race 5.
