ABSTRACT
Phomopsis seed decay (PSD), caused by Phomopsis longicolla (syn. Diaporthe longicolla), is an economically important soybean disease causing poor seed quality. Planting resistant cultivars is one of the most effective means to control PSD. In this study, 16 commercially available maturity groups IV and V soybean cultivars, including two previously identified PSD-resistant and two PSD-susceptible checks, were evaluated for seed infection by P. longicolla in inoculated and noninoculated plots, and harvested promptly or with a 2-week delay in harvest. The test was conducted at Stoneville, Mississippi, in 2012 and 2013. Seed infection by P. longicolla ranged from 0.5 to 76%, and seed germination ranged from 18 to 97%. One MG IV cultivar (Morsoy R2 491) and five MG V cultivars (Progeny 5650, Progeny 5706, Asgrow 5606, Asgrow 5831, and Dyna-Gro33C59) had significantly (P ≤ 0.05) lower percent seed infected by P. longicolla than their respective susceptible checks and other cultivars in the same tests. Information obtained from this study will be useful for soybean growers and breeders for selection of cultivars for planting or breeding and future genetic studies in the development of cultivars with improved resistance to PSD.
