Abstract
Field experiments conducted during the years 2003-2005 showed that the rate of photosynthesis and transpiration decreased as a result of pea infection by Peronospora viciae. Foliar application of effective microorganisms (EM) combined with chemical control increased the rate of photosynthesis in pea, while other methods of EM application reduced net photosynthesis values (An). Chemical control and seed dressing with the tested biological agent caused a significant decrease in molar transpiration (E) values, compared to the control treatment. Soil application of EM contributed to inhibiting fungal pathogen infestation on pea plants.
