Pouglas Exension Director i' Soybean diseases were a problem in a lot of soybean fields in 1962. Soybean averages have Increased tremendously in the last 10 years and diseases have built up also. Soybean diseases "rots, blights, rots, leaf spots and tions. seed infec- The following is a brief discussion of three diseases that cuased most serious losses in Randolph County in 19S2. Fungus Disease Rhizoctonia root rot comes In the season while the soil- is cole unusually wet.

It is caused by a soil-borne fungus. It causes a decay of the barky a of (lie tiny main root and basal stem. The plants wilt and die, usually in irregular areas over the field. In severe attacks stands may be sever- ly damaged a few days after emergence. The plants will continue dying iintil -the soil dries then hte disease will disappear from t'ne field.

It is especially severe in a field which becomes water logged soon after planting. It is most serious in level bottomlands but also occurs a upland fields. No control measures are known at present. Since the fungus is soil-borne, seed is of -but little value. Root Rot The second disease is also a root rot called PJiy-tophthora.

It is. a soil-borne disease which attacks tha early emerging plants much like Rhizoctonia.lt does, not, however, stop killtag the pi-ants when the soil dries up. Instead it continues lo kill plants right up to harvest time. It is becoming wid-e- spread over the state especially in bottomland soils. Fortunatel-y, resistance to this organism has been found and the resistant variety Blackhawk has been crossed with Harosoy, Hawkeye and Clark.

These varieties Iiave been backcrossed to their original variety and selections made for resistance. As a result new resistant varieties are available very jnuch like the original Har- dog care, Roger George; electricity, Donald Eberlein, Delmar Loguc George and Keith Eisberg; fields crops, Delmar Larry Ponder, Newsom and Robert forestry, Greg, Nolting; garden, Edward Loth, Clarence Eisberg Larry Ponder, Keith Eisberg; swine, Susan Stark, Robert Locke, Betty James a a Wright; tractor, John Meissen, Greg Meissen, Clarence Eisberg and Edward Loth. a Ella Gebhardt and Don aid Arnsperg-er each received a trophy execlle.it demonstrations during the past year.

Chariton County 4-H Award Winners osoy, Clark Bud Blight and Hawkeye. The third disease is caused by a virus which causes Ring Spot in tobacco and is called Bud BMght. It is carried to soybeans by some insects. The disease -blights the buds, stunt the plant and delays maturity. This is a i a noticed as the uninfected pi-ants reach a i while the infected plants have green leaves and stems and few if any pods.

The disease is nearly always characterized by portions of the field showing heavy infection and other areas with little or no infection. These usually follow the pattern of the invasion of the insect carrying Hie disease. No control measures are available but resistance has been found and is being bred into present varieties. Thus, it seems nature is repeating herself, and disease control is rapidl-y becoming a problem inj soybeans.
