Abstract: Pea pod rots are the most important diseases affecting pea pods and seeds during harvest, transportation and storage. Fusarium oxysporium f.sp. pisi was the most pathogenic fungus isolated from pea pod rots. Peppermint extract was the most effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth and conidial germination of the tested Fusarium followed by anise extract. Clove oil was the most effective against F. oxysporium linear growth and conidial germination followed by onion oil. Fennel oil had the least effect Trichoderma harzianum caused 82.03% inhibition of F. oxyssporium linear growth. Pea seeds infected with F. oxysoprium showed decreased in free amino acids content.
