The Great Lakes Entomologist

The white-mold gall midge, Karshomyia caulicola Coquillett, was documented in association with soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., infected with the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary. This mycetophagous cecidomyiid appears widespread in the northern soybean producing region, with confirmed detections from Minnesota, North Dakota and Québec. Though likely not a pest of soybean plants, the presence of K. caulicola in soybean fields may complicate identification, population assessment and decision making for soybean gall midge, Resseliella maxima Gagné, which is a recently described pest of soybean. Here, we provide an overview of the known biology and distribution of K. caulicola and …

This 2-page, four-color extension circular covers the disease and symptoms of soybeans in the state of Nebraska. It covers such diseases as bacterial blight; phytophthora root rot; soybean cyst nematode (SCN); bacterial pustule; rhizoctonia root and cortical rot; seedling blights caused by Pythium spp., Fusarium spp., Rhizoctonia solani and Phytophthora sojae; brown stem rot; schlerotinia stem rot; charcoal rot; bean pod mottle; phomopsis seed decay; pod and stem blight; purple seed stain; and sudden death syndrome.

G95-1270 Sclerotinia Stem Rot Of Soybeans, James R. Steadman, S. Rutledge, D. Merrell, David Wysong

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Life cycle, symptoms, and control measures of sclerotinia stem rot of soybeans is discussed.

Sclerotinia stem rot of soybeans is caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. This pathogen has an extremely wide host range and can affect more than 400 plant species, including oilseed, vegetable and forage legume crops. S. sclerotiorum has caused a disease known as white mold on dry edible beans in western Nebraska for 40 years, but it did not become a problem in soybeans until the 1990s. This fungal pathogen can be found on soybeans in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota. …
