Seedling diseases are caused by oomycetes, namely Pythium spp. and Phytophthora sojae, and fungi (Fusarium ssp. and Rhizoctonia solani). A part from P. sojae, there is limited information on the biology and epidemiology of many of the pathogens associated with seedling diseases. The goal of this project is to improve our understanding of the biology and epidemiology of Pythium spp. causing seedling disease.
