Irregularly shaped spots appear on the pods of infected plants. This disease is usually seen on the stem of soybean, at the time of maturity. Anthracnose causes the death of soybean tissue. The disease usually infects the developing stem and leaves. Its symptoms can be seen as various coloured spots or lesions (blight) on leaves, stems, fruits, or flowers, and some infections also occur in the form of cankers on twigs and branches. The severity of infection depends on both the causative agent and the species infected.
