Declining Sources of Resistance to Phytophthora Root Rot in Soybeans and How to Manage It
SINCE the mid-1950s, many soybean growers across Canada have struggled with Phytophthora root rot (PRR), caused by the oomycete Phytophthora sojae. Once the disease is present in their fields, farmers must deal with it for a long time as surviving spores will persist in the soil for approximately 10 years.
2020 Foliar Disease Survey and On-Farm Fungicide Trial Results
Each year, a representative sample of soybean, field pea and dry bean fields are surveyed for root, foliar and stem diseases across Manitoba. Here are the results from the 2020 foliar and stem disease surveys and foliar fungicide results from the On-Farm Network.
