Abstract/Description

More than 100 pathogens attack soybean, but only a third of them are of economic importance. Yield reduction varies between 10 % and 30 %. Soybean diseases are caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and nematodes. Disease management is based on several control principles that should be combined preferably in an integrated pest management approach.
