The MSU OVT soybean locations were evaluated for disease during the 2018 season. Multiple diseases were evaluated at multiple locations and are provided in this post. Cercospora blight, Septoria brown spot and target spot were the three most commonly encountered diseases during the season.
Evaluations of the entries contained in the MSU Official Variety Trial were screened for their response to a fungicide that produces phytotoxicity. Even though differences exist within the commercially available fungicides regarding the amount of phytotoxicity observed over the past few season, the associated evaluations should provide guidance as to the specific response of commercial variety offerings. As has been stated in the past, no yield losses have been observed to occur as a result of the phytotoxicity associated with the commercially labeled fungicides for application to soybean.
