Peas Look Sugar Dipped #803072

Asked July 26, 2022, 9:41 AM EDT

I'm looking for help identifying what is going on with my peas. They are growing inside a hoop house and have an overhead watering system. They look like they have been dipped in sugar.

Hi Mary, thanks for the question.

Very interesting!  This appears to be edema, a condition of excess moisture. Check out the following links:

I hope this is helpful.
