Duvnjak T. author Vrataric M. author Sudaric A. author Cosic J. author text journal article 2002 The main objective of this study was to determinate the occurrence and intensity of attack by the more important fungal diseases on soybean in Eastern Croatia. Four-year investigation (1998-2001) was undertaken on 10 domestic soybean cultivars with different level of disease resistance. The investigation was set in two planting date (optimal and delayed) on experimental fields of the Agricultural Institute Osijek. Following more important diseases were established: Downy mildew, Pod and stem blight and Stem canker. Significant differences in disease incidence were caused by genetic diversity of tested materials as well as different climatic conditions among growing seasons. According to planting date, significantly higher incidence of Downy mildew and Pod and stem blight was in optimal planting date. soybean; fungal diseases; occurrence; intensity; cultivar; planting date 10.17221/10563-PPS https://pps.agriculturejournals.cz/artkey/pps-200211-0101.php https://pps.agriculturejournals.cz/artkey/pps-200211-0101.php continuing 38 11 590 592 2002 12122580 periodical academic journal
