Samples of soybean leaflets showing leaf spot disease symptoms were collected from farms in Central, Lusaka and Southern provinces of Zambia. The pathogen was identified as Colletotrichum truncatum. Isolations were purified using single conidia and compared for morphological and physiological characters as well as for their pathogenic reactions to three commonly grown soybean cultivars in Zambia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
