Evaluation of the pathogenicity ofFusarium graminearumandFusarium pseudograminearumon soybean seedlings under controlled conditions

Fusarium graminearum, the cause of fusarium head blight of small-grain cereals and of gibberella ear rot of corn, has recently been reported to attack soybean, causing root rot and pod blight. A morphologically similar species, Fusarium pseudograminearum, is also an important pathogen of the roots and crown of cereals, but its pathogenicity against soybean has not been tested yet. Pathogenicity tests were conducted under controlled conditions to...
