R. Harikrishnan et Xb. Yang, Development of soybean brown stem rot in relation to infested residue size, density and depth of placement, CAN J PLANT, 79(3), 1999, pp. 469-472
Greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the effects of infested
soybean-residue placement, size and residue density on the development of b
rown stem rot caused by Phialophora gregata. Results showed that incidence
and severity decreased significantly with decrease in residue size and with
increase in depth of placement but the three residue densities used had no
significant effects on the disease.
