A common symptom is rentention of leaves and petioles well past the point of maturity.

Leaf distortion, and green and yellow mosaic patterns on leaves have also been observed.  The leaf symptoms are similar to those associated with viruses and with injury from several herbicides.

Pod symptoms include small, distorted pods, one or two seeded pods, and shattering.
