Soruce: Plant Health Initiative
By Jim Kurle, Department of Plant Pathology, University of Minnesota
The complex of pathogens that causes seed, seedling, and root rots and damping off of seedlings is the most important cause of poor soybean plant stands and can significantly reduce soybean yields. The most important of these pathogens are the oomycetes, Phytophthora sojae and Pythium species.
Management of diseases caused by the oomycetes will be discussed with an emphasis on integration of resistance, chemical controls, and cultural practices.
