I grow pea in Haldwani area. In my crop, in January ( Say mid Jan.) there is white powdery patchy growth on both the surfaces, later on symptoms also covers other green parts. This problems leads to dying plants prematurely and reduction in no and size of pods. Please tell me the cause and control as this is affecting the yield very much.

If your symptoms match with the picture, adopt following control measures:
