Seed Treatment Fungicides for Soybeans

Seedling diseases frequently cause economic yield losses for soybean farmers across the Midwest. These most often manifest as damping off and seed rot, which result in poor emergence, loss of stand, and reduced yield. The most common pathogens that cause seedling diseases are species of Fusarium, Phytophthora, Pythium, and Rhizoctonia. All four are capable of killing soybean seedlings or at least causing damage sufficient to reduce the yield potential of infected plants.
