Diagnosing Fungicide Phytotoxicity and Telling Apart from Root Diseases
Phytotoxicity as the result of applying fungicides that contain an active ingredient that produces an “injury” to soybean leaves has been observed this year. Large areas of fields or entire fields in an area with observable interveinal chlorosis should be observed for the presence of a specific disease. Observing root systems as well as cutting into the main stem to expose the vascular tissue should help tell the difference between many soybean root diseases and whether or not a disease is present.
