Fusarium pod rot
scouted Aug. 16, 2021
- Scientific Name
- Fusarium sp.
- Background
- Soybeans in Camden county, variety AG52X9, were scouted and observed with 70% of the field affected by widespread pod issues with some turning brown, pods not filling properly, and pod shed.
- Conclusion
- The issue was identified as Fusarium pod rot. The disease is caused by Fusarium sp. This disease is hard to identify because the symptoms are similar to other disease. To reduce infection minimize stress factors like herbicides, high pH, wet soils, and soybean cyst nematode feeding. The stress factors weaken plants and increases susceptibility.
