Abstract:Seeds of 16 soyabean cultivars of maturity groups II, III, IV and V, harvested from 30 plots in Illinois during 1978-81, were evaluated for seed quality. Seed quality was highest for group III and lowest for group II soyabeans. Elf, group III, produced the highest quality while Wells, group II, produced the poorest quality seeds. The group III cultivars Will and Williams, group IV cultivars Cutler 71, Franklin, Kent and Union, and group V cultivar Essex had very good seed quality. Wells had the highest percentage of seeds infected by Phomopsis spp., and Amsoy and Amsoy 71, group II, had the highest percentage of seeds infected by Cercospora kikuchii. Recovery of these 2 fungi was lowest from seeds of Elf and Essex. Beeson, group II, had the highest percentage of seeds infected by Macrophomina phaseolina, Nematospora coryli and Penicillium spp.; Essex had the highest percentage of seeds infected with Alternaria, Chaetomium, Cladosporium and Fusarium spp.
