In July 2024, soybean (Glycine max) with symptoms of red crown rot, caused by Calonectria ilicicola, were observed in a commercial field with a history of corn-soybean rotation in Marion County, Missouri. Soybean were planted on May 12 and foliar symptoms including interveinal chlorosis and premature senescence, were visible on plants at the R3 growth stage with incidence estimated at 5% of the field. Reddish coloration was observed on the lower stem of symptomatic plants, along with reddish-orange globular perithecia measuring 300-500 µm in height and 250-350 µm in diameter, typical of C.

Article Synopsis
  • Phyllachora maydis is a fungal pathogen responsible for tar spot disease in corn, first identified in the U.S. in 2015.
  • Research has focused on identifying the environmental factors that foster tar spot development, with moderate temperatures (18-23 °C) over longer periods being key to its growth.
  • This study has led to the creation of predictive models using various weather parameters, enhancing the understanding of P. maydis and laying groundwork for anticipating future outbreaks.
