Viruses Infecting Soybean in Tennessee

摘要

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is the leading field crop in terms of acreage and dollar value in Tennessee. Tennessee presently ranks fifteenth in the United States in soybean production (Brantner and Guinn, 1988); therefore diseases which affect yield are of considerable importance. Despite the importance of this crop, information on occurrence of virus diseases of soybeans in Tennessee has not been available.
