Phytophthora root rot is spreading to Iowa soybeans, says extension pathologist Robert Nyvall. The soil borne fungus infects seeds seedlings and older plants causing wilting and yellowing. Diagnosis hinges on a dark brown stain on the gle ny, extending above the soil line. Poorly drained areas and heavy clay soils show higher incidence, with the fungus surviving in soil or crop residue year to year.
