Abstract:

The current study aims to clarify the pathogenic fungi causing soybean root rot and control efficiency of different kinds of seed coating in the field. Pathogen samples of soybean root rot disease were collected from the soybean production area in Helan, Xingqing and Yongning of Ningxia during 2018-2019. The pathogens were isolated by tissue separation, and identified according to morphology and a multilocus phylogenetic analysis (ITS and TEF). Then the control efficiency of six kinds of seed coating were assessed in field. The results showed that 126 strains were isolated and identified, belonging to four Fusarium species, i.e., F. solani, F. oxysporum, F. equiseti and F. brachygibbosum, which accounted for 51.59%, 24.60%, 13.49% and 10.32%, respectively. Pathogenicity assay showed that four Fusarium species were pathogenic against soybean, showing root rot. The field test demonstrated that the control efficiency of the six kinds of seed coating were more than 65% 20 days after sowing, and the control efficiency was lower than 60% 60 days after sowing. In summary, four Fusarium species on soybean are observed in Yinchuan and the tested kinds of seed coating have certain control efficiency, but the control efficiency decreases at the adult-plant stage of soybean.
