Abstract

Soybean Whetzelinia rot caused by Whetzelinia sclerotiorum was observed in Jinju area. The diseased soybean plants showed withering and sudden collapse under field conditions. Diseased parts exhibited numerous black, irregularly-shaped scleratia embedded in dense white cottonly mycelium on tissue and in the pith of diseased stems. A sclerotium in the moist sand produced several apothecia under laboratary condition. The primary inoculum was supposed to originate from overwintered sclerotia of soil and soybean debris.
