Kraft, Research Plant Pathologist, Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, Prosser, Washington 99350, in cooperation with Washington State University, Pullman. Phytopathology 61:342-343. DOI: 10.1094/Phyto-61-342.

A laboratory method for studying the host pathogen relationship of pea wilt employing a rotary shaker is described. Wilt symptoms were evident after a 10-day incubation period, and results were similar to those obtained in the greenhouse after 6 weeks.
