Book Integrated Management of Phytophthora Stem and Root Rot of Soybean and the Effect of Soil applied Herbicides on Seedling Disease Incidence

Download or read book Integrated Management of Phytophthora Stem and Root Rot of Soybean and the Effect of Soil applied Herbicides on Seedling Disease Incidence written by Vinicius Castelli Garnica and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soybean seedling diseases and Phytophthora stem and root rot (PSRR; caused by Phytophthora sojae) are two of the most economically important diseases in North Central U.S. Remarkable differences in disease incidence occur each year, which demonstrate that abiotic and biotic factors must interact for disease onset and development. During 2017 and 2018, field studies were conducted to (i) address the efficacy of seed treatment and genetic resistance for PSRR management on soybean population, canopy coverage (CC), and yield, and (ii) investigate potential interactions between pre-emergence (PRE) herbicides and the incidence of seedling diseases in alluvial soils in Nebraska. Despite field history, PSRR developed in only four of six environments studied. Commercial seed treatment had a positive effect on plant population density, CC, and yield in at least three environments. Compared to non-treated control, seed treatment increased emergence between 11,600 to 53,700 plants ha-1 and early-season CC between 0.7 to 1.2%. Under high disease pressure, management programs using moderately resistant cultivars improved yields when compared to moderately susceptible cultivars. By contrast, minimum yield differences were detected between Rps1k andRps1c genotypes, except in one environment. While a weak to moderate correlation was observed between CC and incidence of P. sojae symptomatic plants, a moderate to strong association was found between CC and yield. Across multiple environments, PRE herbicides chlorimuron-ethyl, metribuzin, saflufenacil, sulfentrazone, and flumioxazin had no impact on seedling root rot (disease severity index; DSI) when compared to the non-treated control. Similarly, no significant differences between PRE herbicides were detected on plant population, plant height, and yield. Community composition depicting primary pathogenic genera Fusarium, Phytophthora, Pythium, and Rhizoctonia did not occur at random but rather varied across environments and DSI classes. In two of the three environments, Phytophthorastructured approximately 22% of primary pathogenic genera, whereas, Rhizoctoniarecovery was low (

Book Effect of Soil applied Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase Inhibitor Herbicides on Soybean Seedling Disease

Download or read book Effect of Soil applied Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase Inhibitor Herbicides on Soybean Seedling Disease written by Nicholas J. Arneson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seedling disease is one the most economically important diseases of soybean in the United States. It is commonly caused by Fusarium spp., Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium spp., and Phytophthora sojae, alone, or together as a disease complex. Fungicide seed treatments continue to provide the most consistent management of seedling diseases. Soil-applied protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor herbicides are used preemergence in soybean production to manage several broadleaf weeds. Applications of PPO-inhibitors can result in phytotoxic injury to soybean when environmental conditions are not favorable for soybean growth. These environmental conditions can favor seedling disease development as well. In this thesis, two studies were conducted to determine the effect of soil-applied PPO-inhibitors on soybean seedling disease development in Nebraska under field and controlled conditions. The first study assessed the effect of two PPO-inhibitors and a fungicide seed treatment on seedling disease and yield in 9 soybean fields in Nebraska. PPO-inhibitor injury occurred at 7 of 9 locations with inconsistent effects on seedling disease, where increases in root rot severity of 6.6-28.1% were observed at 5 of 9 locations, decreases of 4.7-10.9% at two locations, and no effect at three locations. None of these effects impacted yield at any of the locations. Fungicide seed treatment did not reduce root rot severity at any location; however, it increased yield at two locations. The second study investigated the effect of PPO-inhibitors on seedling disease caused by Fusarium solani under controlled conditions. Disease pressure was consistent throughout this study, with root rot severities ranging 32.1-38.9%. PPO-inhibitor injury occurred in all experiments with severities ranging 7.0-33.0%. Sulfentrazone alone increased root rot severity 9-12%. There was an effect of PPO-inhibitors on seedling disease development, although results were inconsistent, indicating a need for further research. PPO-inhibitors should continue to be used in part of an integrated weed management program and fungicide seed treatments should be used in fields that have a history of seedling disease.

Book The Influence of Soil applied Herbicide and Pathogen Interaction on Upregulation of Systemic Acquired Resistance in Soybean

Download or read book The Influence of Soil applied Herbicide and Pathogen Interaction on Upregulation of Systemic Acquired Resistance in Soybean written by Rhett Stolte and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exposure of crop plants to stress or injury, such as soybean injury by PPO-inhibitor herbicide, may stimulate the upregulation of Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) and reduce plant susceptibility to other stressors, such as disease-causing pathogens. Field and laboratory studies were initiated to evaluate the upregulation of SAR, examining the effects of PPO-inhibiting herbicide treatment on Sudden Death Syndrome incidence and severity in soybean and the relationship of disease incidence and severity related to stand count and yield with various population densities. A two-year field study was established in Shawneetown, IL to evaluate grain yield and disease potential of soybean cultivars which are either sensitive or tolerant to protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO)-inhibitor herbicides, with seed either treated with insecticide, thiamethoxam and fungicides, fludioxonil and mefanoxam (Upshot) and biological fungicide Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain D747 (Avonni) (biological fungicide) or non-treated. The seeds were planted at six different seeding rates: 197,684; 247,105; 296,526; 345,947; 395,368; 444,789; with the controls planted at a density of 345,947 seeds ha−1 in a 2 × 2 × 7 factorial study design. Field experiments were planted on April 25, 2016 and May 6, 2017 in 76 cm, 4-row plots measuring 3m by 7m, and herbicide was applied to treated plots over the center 2 rows. Data collection included crop injury at 14, 28 and 56 days after treatment (DAT), stand count at 14 and 28 (DAT), plant height and node count at end-of-season (EOS), and disease incidence and severity ratings beginning at the onset of symptomology. Yield data was collected from the center two treated rows. All plots, except the non-treated controls, received an application of sulfentrazone + cloransulam-methyl (316 g ai ha−1). In 2016 the greatest crop injury, categorized by stunting, at 14 DAT occurred in the PPO-tolerant seed variety without a fungicide and insecticide seed treatment at 4.2% planted at 444,789 seeds/ha. At 28 DAT with means pooled over seed treatment and seed variety, we observed the 197,684 seeds/ha plots having greatest crop injury at 5.25%, and lastly at 56 DAT, the 197,684 and 247,105 seeds/ha plots containing untreated, PPO-sensitive seed were the most injured at 12% crop injury. In 2017, 14 DAT was excluded from the analysis, as there was no injury at the time of rating. At 28 DAT, the PPO-sensitive seed variety, pooled over seed treatment, at 197,684 seeds/ha resulted in greater crop injury at 8.6%, similar to 2016. At 56 DAT, similar results were observed as in 2016, at 12% crop injury in the PPO-sensitive seed variety without a seed treatment planted at 197,684 seeds/ha. There were differences in stand count by seeding rate at 14 and 28 DAT, but no interactive effects between the factors in 2016; seed treatment and seed variety were not significant. However, in 2017, there were differences in stand count by seed variety and seed treatment at 14 and 28 DAT, but again, no interactive effects between factors. Relationships between stand count and seeding rate indicated a threshold at which the environment cannot sustain higher planting densities. Environmental conditions were more favorable for crop growth in 2016 than 2017. Rainfall 10 days following planting was recorded at 67 mm and 290 mm in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Soybean node counts in 2016 were greater in the PPO-tolerant variety were seed was treated with a fungicide and insecticide seed treatment. In 2017, node counts were not influenced by seed treatment or seed variety; however, the greatest number of nodes were in the 444,789 seeds/ha planting population. Disease was more prominent in the high-density plots than in the low-density plots, as would be expected because of the effects of competitive stress on plant susceptibility to pathogens as well as more plants to be infected by the pathogen. Sudden Death Syndrome disease incidence (scale of 0 to 100%) in 2016 ranged from 1.2 to 25.5 across rating dates, while severity (scale of 0 to 9 based on leaf symptomology) ranged from 0.3 to 2.2 across rating dates. In 2017 disease incidence ranged from 0 to 25.0 across all rating dates, and disease severity ranged from 0 to 1.6 across all rating dates. Yield in 2016 ranged from 3,449.8 kg/ha to 4,060.3 kg/ha with the highest yield in the PPO-tolerant variety and the lowest in the -sensitive variety. However, in 2017, yield was lowest in the 197,684 plants/ha treatments at 1,509.1 kg/ha and highest in the 444,789 plants/ha treatments at 4,053.9 kg/ha. Significant varietal and seed treatment differences were also noted in 2017. A growth chamber study consisting of 18 treatments to evaluate an induction of SAR in soybean following exposure to sulfentrazone in PPO-sensitive and -tolerant cultivars. Each treatment was analyzed to quantify pathogen infection. Treatments were also analyzed for the upregulation of SAR genes to evaluate the potential induction of systemic acquired resistance in treated and untreated seed accessions of PPO-sensitive and -tolerant cultivars in response to infections by Fusarium virguliforme, Pythium irregulare, and Rhizoctonia solani following exposure to sulfentrazone. Soil was inoculated with F. virguliforme, P. irregulare and R. solani and planting was done one day after inoculation using AG 4034 and AG 4135, PPO- (sulfentrazone) sensitive and tolerant cultivars, respectively. F. virguliforme DNA levels (351.98 picograms of fungal DNA/200 mg of root tissue) were highest in the PPO-sensitive variety with a seed treatment and an herbicide application. P. irregulare levels were sproradic; regardless of seed treatment, fungal DNA levels were only different in the PPO-sensitive variety with seed treatment and herbicide application at 95.92 picograms of fungal DNA/200 mg of root tissue. All non-inoculated samples produced minute levels of Pythium DNA. R. solani levels were only statistically different in the treatment containing: untreated, PPO-sensitive seed that was non-inoculated. Gene expression levels were greatest in the PPO-tolerant variety. NPR1 expression was greatest in the PPO-tolerant variety with an application of sulfentrazone at 27.26-fold-change over ubiquitin, statistically different from the PPO-tolerant variety without an application of sulfentrazone and the PPO-sensitive variety with an application of sulfentrazone. The expression of the NIMIN1 gene showed no difference between treatments for either PPO-tolerant or -sensitive variety. The PPO-tolerant seed, inoculated with P. irregularrre and treated with sulfentrazone resulted in 0.02-fold change, statistically different from all other treatments except, PPO-sensitive seed without sulfetrazone at 0.33-fold change when EREBP was the gene of interest. The PPO-tolerant variety with an application of sulfentrazone was significantly different from the PPO-sensitive variety with an application of sulfentrazone at 13.8 and 0.69- fold change, respectively in regard to EDS1 being the gene of interest. Looking at PAD4 expression, being the greatest in the treated seed with a herbicide (pooled over variety and inoculum) at 1.66-fold difference from ubiquitin, and statistically different from the remaining treatments. There was no difference between treatments for the gene of interest, SAM22, in either variety. Overall, the field experiment indicated that a seeding rate of 345,947 seeds/ha was optimum with no penalty to yield. By planting a higher population than that yield was not significantly increased. Planting a PPO-tolerant seed variety resulted in the greatest yield overall, but on a disease resistance perspective, it was advantageous to plant a PPO-sensitive variety if SDS is an issue. Lastly, an application of sulfentrazone preemergence to soybeans does result in the upregulation of SAR in soybean, which was confirmed by RT-PCR following the expression level of six SAR genes.

Book Pest Management in Soybean

Download or read book Pest Management in Soybean written by L.G. Copping and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the third in a series of volumes on major tropical and sub-tropical crops. These books aim to review the current state of the art in management of the total spectrum of pests and diseases which affect these crops in each major growing area using a multi-disciplinary approach. Soybean is economically the most important legume in the world. It is nutritious and easily digested, and is one of the richest and cheapest sources of protein. It is currently vital for the sustenance of many people and it will play an integral role in any future attempts to relieve world hunger. Soybean seed contains about 17% of oil and about 63% of meal, half of which is protein. Modern research has developed a variety of uses for soybean oil. It is processed into margarine, shortening, mayonnaise, salad creams and vegetarian cheeses. Industrially it is used in resins, plastics, paints, adhesives, fertilisers, sizing for cloth, linoleum backing, fire extinguishing materials, printing inks and a variety of other products. Soybean meal is a high-protein meat substitute and is used in the developed countries in many processed foods, including baby foods, but mainly as a feed for livestock. Soybean (Glycine max), which evolved from Glycine ussuriensis, a wild legume native to northern China, has been known and used in China since the eleventh century Be. It was introduced into Europe in the eighteenth century and into the United States in 1804 as an ornamental garden plant in Philadelphia.

Book Phytophthora Root Rot  Damping off  Sclerotinia Stem Rot and Brown Stem Rot of Soybeans in Response to Swine Manure Applications

Download or read book Phytophthora Root Rot Damping off Sclerotinia Stem Rot and Brown Stem Rot of Soybeans in Response to Swine Manure Applications written by Lisa Hedrick Oelke and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inorganic fertilizer treatments resulted in levels of damping-off similar to manure applications in some instances and it is hypothesized that the swine manure introduced a salt toxicity problem in some instances. To minimize the detrimental effects of manure because of increased disease potential, and maximize beneficial effects, manures should be applied as early in the spring as possible, and at the lowest rates possible. Phytophthora resistant varieties should be used and seed should be treated with af ungicide. The manure should be injected into the soil between soybean rows or broadcast and incorporated immediately.

Book Studies in the Management of Pythium Seed and Root Rot of Soybean

Download or read book Studies in the Management of Pythium Seed and Root Rot of Soybean written by Kelsey L. Scott and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ohio, soybean seedling damping-off and seed rot are problems routinely encountered soon after planting. Reduced tillage systems that lead to inoculum build-up combined with saturated soil conditions are ideal environments for seedling diseases, which cause large losses of soybean stand and thus yield. Prior Ohio field surveys identified multiple species of Pythium and Phytophthora that contribute to soybean seedling damping-off. Among the most common and aggressive species are Phytophthora sojae, Pythium irregulare, Pythium ultimum var. ultimum, and Pythium ultimum var. sporangiiferum. Fungicide seed treatment and host resistance are two management strategies that are used to minimize yield loss caused by these pathogens. Thus, the objectives of these studies were to: i) evaluate new active ingredients for efficacy in the lab and field, and ii) identify and characterize new sources of resistance towards the most common seedling pathogens. These are key strategies for the development of effective strategies for the management of soybean seedling disease. During 2014-2015, at two environments, ethaboxam seed treatments combined with metalaxyl on a susceptible cultivar significantly increased yield compared to other fungicide treatments containing metalaxyl or mefenoxam alone. Soybeans treated with ethaboxam plus metalaxyl had significantly higher plant populations when compared to the nontreated control at all four 2016 field locations, while one environment had significantly higher yield. In laboratory seed plate and greenhouse cup assays, ethaboxam plus metalaxyl in a commercial formulation provided equal or better protection against multiple species of Pythium when compared with other seed treatments that contained metalaxyl or mefenoxam only. These results indicate that ethaboxam with metalaxyl is effective at managing seed and rot root caused by the diverse species of Pythium and Phytophthora and provides another seed treatment fungicide available to producers which can be used in an integrated disease management program. The parents that were used to develop six nested association mapping (NAM) populations were previously identified as segregating for resistance towards Phytophthora sojae, Pythium irregulare, Pythium ultimum var. ultimum, and Pythium ultimum var. sporangiiferum. Following inoculation in a cup assay, the resistance was quantitatively inherited in each of the NAM populations towards the four seedling pathogens. In total, 33 QDRL from the six populations surpassed the genome-wide logarithm of odds (LOD) threshold and there was a large number of suggestive QDRL that surpassed the chromosomal LOD threshold. Of these 33 significant QDRL, 10 explained more than 15% of the phenotypic variation. Only four QDRL conferred resistance to more than one of the oomycete pathogens; one on chromosome 3, one on chromosome 17, and two located at separate locations on chromosome 13. This indicates that there may be multiple mechanisms for resistance to these root pathogens. Further analyses are needed to precisely map these QDRL so they may be selectively bred into highly resistant germplasm in order to manage seed and seedling damping-off. These NAM populations will serve as a rich resource for breeders to incorporate resistance into adapted soybean cultivars.
