| Abstract: | Three isolates (Ct-1, Ct-3, Ct-4) of Colletotrichum truncatum from soybean (Glycine max) soil or seeds produced microsclerotia in culture and in soybean tissues. The three sclerotia-forming and three nonsclerotia-forming isolates (Ct-2, Ct-AU, Ct-HL) were pathogenic to soybean roots in an aeroponics growth chamber. Sclerotia-forming isolates of C. truncatum and the pathogenicity of C. truncatum on soybean roots were not reported previously. SOyben cvs. A. K. (Kansas), Boone, Corsoy 79, and Williams 82, which differed in resistance to foliar anthracnose caused by C. truncatum, were all susceptible to root infection by all isolates; Williams 82 was most susceptible, followed, in descending order, by Corsoy 79, A. K. (Kansas), and Boone. Lesions on roots of plants growing in an aeroponics growth chamber were significantly longer with Corsoy 79 and Williams 82 inoculated with isolates Ct-1, Ct-AU, and Ct-HL than on roots inoculated with isolates Ct-2, Ct-3, or Ct-4. In field studies, yields were significantly suppressed below noninoculated plants for all cultivars except Boone when inoculated separately with isolates Ct-1, Ct-2, and Ct-3. Estimated yield lopss due to anthracnose was 17% for A. K. (Kansas), 23% for Corsoy 79, and 30% for Williams 82 |
