What is Stem Rot (Phytophthora)?
Stem rot, caused by Phytophthora sojae, is a soil-borne pathogen that thrives in wet, poorly-drained conditions. This disease attacks the roots, stems, and leaves of soybeans, causing wilting, yellowing, and premature plant death. The fungus can also lead to root rot, making it easier for other pathogens to invade and harm the plant.
Phytophthora is particularly harmful during periods of heavy rainfall or excessive irrigation, when waterlogged soils create the perfect breeding ground for the fungus. Left unchecked, stem rot can devastate your soybean crops, reducing both quality and yield.
