Fusarium Species and Impact of Root Infection on Growth and Yield of Soybeans: Review Approach

Abstract

Fusarium spp. are commonly isolated from soybean roots but the pathogenic activity of mostspecies is poorly documented. Aggressiveness and yield impact of nine species of Fusarium weredetermined on soybean in greenhouse (50 isolates) and field microplot (19 isolates) experiments. Root rot severity and shoot and root dry weights were compared at growth stages
