Symptoms and Measures of Anthracnose disease in soybean

Anthracnose is an important disease of the soybean crop, causing yield loss of up to 16-100%. This disease affects all stages of crop development. Symptoms can be seen on leaves, fruits, pods and even stems. Irregularly shaped spots, dark sunken lesions or reddish-brown spots appear on the plant. In the early stages of the infection, there are no seeds formed in the pods. The favourable temperature is 28-32 ºC. The pathogen infects the host at a minimum temperature of 22-25ºC.
To prevent this, spray Tebuconazole 10% + Sulfur 65%WG @ 500 gm/acre and Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 300 gm/acre and Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP @ 300 gm/acre.
For biological treatment, spray of Trichoderma viride @ 500 gm/acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gm/acre can be done.
