Abstract
The soybean germplasm we utilize today was primarily derived from the cool temperate region of northeastern China. When soybeans are planted in similar regions around the world, disease severities and losses are typically lower than they are in warm temperate, Subtropical and tropical locations. Diseases are usually less severe in cooler climates because of freeze-thaw cycles in the winter, cooler mean temperatures, and/or shorter summers that reduce the number of reproductive generations, and/or lower humidity that reduces the number of infection events for foliage-infecting pathogens. Management is difficult in warm temperate regions requiring an integration of genetic defenses, cultural practice modifications, and chemical control practices. Improvements in disease management will be made by providing farmers with decision-making aids, and by researching disease induced losses that are presently poorly understood.
