Last Updated: 2024/11/05, Soybean downy mildew damages seedlings, leaves and seeds. When the first true leaf unfolds, chlorotic patches appear along both sides of the vein. The leaf surface of adult plant is round or irregular, the edge is not clear yellow-green star point, then turn brown, the back of the leaf has gray mold layer. The surface of diseased grains adhered to gray hyphal layer, containing a large number of pathogen ospores. The pathogen overwinters as ospores on seeds and diseased leaves and becomes the source of infection at the beginning of next year. The disease begins in the middle and late June every year, and the peak period is from July to August. The disease is often serious in rainy years. prevention and control

The surface of diseased grains adhered to gray hyphal layer, containing a large number of pathogen ospores. The pathogen overwinters as ospores on seeds and diseased leaves and becomes the source of infection at the beginning of next year. The disease begins in the middle and late June every year, and the peak period is from July to August. The disease is often serious in rainy years.

Control methods:

(1)Agricultural control. Choose disease-resistant varieties, select seeds, eliminate diseased seeds, and implement 2-3 year rotation.

(2)Chemical control. Seed dressing with 40% Phosphoethyl WP or 25% Metalaxyl WP at 0.5% of seed weight. When the disease occurs in the field, it can be sprayed with ethyl phosphorus aluminum 300 solution or metalaxyl 800 times solution, and about 40 kg of liquid medicine is used per 667 square meters.
