Abstract:Koch's postulates were completed with Fusarium solani under both greenhouse and field conditions. Root rot was the most prevalent and damaging symptom caused by the fungus. Five F. solani isolates tested were pathogenic when inoculated on soybean, and each was reisolated from inoculated, symptomatic plants. Isolates differed in virulence. Disease severity was not substantially changed when F. solani and soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) were inoculated on soybean in combination, as compared with F. solani or soybean cyst nematode alone. The fungus reduced yield under field conditions. Disease severity was greater with poor-quality seeds inoculated with F. solani than with inoculated high-quality seeds
