16% of the isolations identified were unknown species of Pythium and the appearance of two recently identified species, P. oopapillum and P. kashmirense, the latter of which has only been found in Kashmir, India (both were 2% of total). Currently, pathogenicity trials are being conducted on the various species of Pythium using the soybean cultivar Barnes. In addition, an analysis of the soil samples collected from the 134 soybean fields is also being conducted. We plan on finishing this project in 2013 and publishing the results for growers and the scientific community.
