- Colletotrichum destructivum
- Background
- Soybeans in Duplin county, variety AG52XF0 MG 5, were sampled. This sample is he 3rd sampling 4 weeks after foliage fungicide application.
- Conclusion
- The cause of disease was identified as Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum. While usually a disease that shows in the stems and the petioles, it can also cause leaf curling and reddening of the veins. Warm, wet weather favors infection and disease development. Crop rotation and tillage can reduce inoculum, while foliar fungicides will reduce disease, but it's usually not profitable.
