Whats with all the black soot in the peas this year? Swathing peas today, and I'm sure I musted have looked like a dust cloud moving back and forth across the field! Swather covered in black soot, and having to stop to wipe windows down. Is it from 1)Dead aphids I sprayed out about three weeks ago and their sugary residue? 2)Something related to all the many yellow butterflies/moths in this stand? 3)If disease, what type and when should've it been sprayed, with incrop herbicide or later? In the odd spot too wet to spray, the wild oats are absolutely covered in orange rust, related to the black soot?
Yield looks like it will be good, pods filled nice, however week in low spots where rain stood and/or stayed saturated too long.

Suspect the majourity base part of the black dust is the result of the tonnes of it coming off grid road traffic, and settling on your crops. Go for a walk, and you choke on it a half mile in on every field. Dead calm, and it drifts road to road settling on everything. It showed up here with the RM abuse dirty gravel spreading program.

Think the black dust might be Anthracnose.
Combining Lentils combine is black. Combusts
easily.

If you google Anthracnose on lentils, you will see
the black spores. Also you may have noticed
yellowing strips in your fields. The spores are soil
borne.
