Description
Frogeye leaf spot, a fungus disease of soybeans, was once a mostly southern problem in the United States, but it has spread north in recent years. Guohong Cai and co-authors sampled the fungus Cercospora sojina across Indiana in 2024 to map its makeup. They tested 234 samples from twenty-nine counties using twenty-seven genetic markers.
The markers sorted the samples into forty-nine distinct types, which grouped into three clusters. Both mating types appeared in near equal shares, a pattern that hints the fungus may be able to breed in the field. The most common type matched the leading type found earlier in Tennessee, and many samples resisted a common spray class. The authors say the mix helps explain how the disease adapts.
