Rust diseases of pea are major constraints to pea production in the developing countries and is responsible for substantial losses in both quality and quantity parameters of grain. This reinforces the need to exploit several control strategies including chemical control. Although, fungicides provide an effective means to manage the disease, it is not cost effective, and carries several environmental and health related hazards. Therefore, different sustainable approaches alone or in combinations, such as, the alteration in date of sowing, screening for resistant cultivars, use of biotic and abiotic elicitors in induction of host plant resistance and eco-friendly need based chemical control measures were carried out to find out the most effective strategy in managing rust disease of pea.
