Rust, powdery mildew and wilt are major diseases of pea and broad bean of worldwide distribution. Due to high humidity region of Manipur these diseases are the major limiting factors which reduce the yield and productivity of the crop. It is particularly damaging in late sowings or in late maturing varieties. Rust and powdery mildew is an airborne disease whereas wilt is a soil borne disease which can causes 25–50 percent yield losses, reducing total yield biomass, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, plant height and number of nodes. The disease also affects green pea quality. The disease incidence in Imphal and Chandel district was in the range between 5-55 percent. The diseases were found to be more prevalence in Chandel than Imphal district. The maximum disease incidence of 55 percent rust of broad bean was recorded followed by powdery mildew of pea which show 45percent disease incidence and same disease incidence of 15 percent was recorded both in wilt of pea and broad bean.
