A Diagnostic Guide for Fusarium Root Rot of Soybean
Fusarium root rot of soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is caused by various Fusarium species and is associated with significant yield losses in the United States and Canada (Ontario). This diagnostic guide focuses on isolating common Fusarium species, including F. acuminatum, F. graminearum sensu lato, F. oxysporum species complex, F. proliferatum, and F. solani species complex, from diseased soybean roots collected from commercial fields affected by seedling diseases. Additionally, the guide provides an overview of Fusarium root rot symptoms and management, along with methods for isolation, morphological and molecular identification, long-term storage, and pathogenicity testing of Fusarium isolates.
