The Midwestern U.S. landscape is one of the most highly altered and intensively managed ecosystems in the country. The predominant crops grown are maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr]. They are typically grown as monocrops in a simple yearly rotation or with multiple years of maize (2 to 3) followed by a single year of soybean. This system is highly productive because the crops and management systems have been well adapted to the regional growing conditions through substantial public and private investment. Furthermore, markets and supporting infrastructure are highly developed for both crops. As maize and …


Developing Management Strategies For Taproot Decline, Xylaria Sp., In Soybean, Myra Purvis Jun 2019

Developing Management Strategies For Taproot Decline, Xylaria Sp., In Soybean, Myra Purvis

Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the most important oilseed crops in the world.  Taproot decline is a recently discovered disease caused by Xylaria sp., a novel species located within the Xylaria arbuscula aggregate.  Foliar symptoms include interveinal chlorosis and necrosis, and upon further investigation, there are often dead plants adjacent within the row.  Many other soybean diseases have similar foliar symptoms; therefore, more examination is usually required for proper identification.  Soybean debris from previous years is suspected to be the primary source of inoculum.  Plants may be infected at any point during the growing season, often …
