ABSTRACT
Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) production is influenced by planting date, but its impact on yield in fields infested with Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. is unknown. A 3-year study was conducted in M. phaseolina-infested fields to assess the effects of planting date (PD) on disease severity and yield using eight genotypes, four of which are reported to be susceptible to charcoal rot (S), and four reported with moderate resistance (MR) to charcoal rot (CR). The genotypes were planted in early April, early May, and early June under irrigated and nonirrigated conditions. There was planting date by irrigation interaction for area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) where May PD was significantly lower compared to April and June PDs in irrigated environments but not in nonirrigated environments. Correspondingly, yield in April PD was significantly lower than that of May and June. Interestingly, yield of S genotypes increased significantly with each subsequent PD, while yield of MR genotypes remained high across all three PDs. The interaction of genotypes by PD on yield revealed that the MR genotypes DT97-4290 and DS-880 had the greatest yields in May compared to April. While May PD had a decreased AUDPC and an increased yield across genotypes, the result of this research suggests that in fields infested with M. phaseolina, early May to early June planting coupled with appropriate cultivar selection provides maximum yield potential for western Tennessee and mid-southern soybean growers.
