Biotechnological Interventions to Combat against Charcoal Rot and Rhizoctonia Root Rot Diseases of Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] | Chapter 01 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 6

 Soybean is a key legume in the world's oilseed production system. Several biotic and abiotic stressors, including drought, have impacted soybean yield. Among the several biotic pressures, Charcoal rot and Rhizoctonia root rot are the most common diseases that cause significant damage to soybean production, and no significant work has been done to effectively address these issues. Biotic stressors can be managed utilising an integrated management approach that includes cultural methods such as crop rotation, tillage, and irrigation, as well as chemical control such as seed treatments to reduce damage caused by a fungal infection in soybeans. The goal of this work was to profile soybean genotypes for yield and accrediting features, as well as to validate gene-based SSR molecular markers against the diseases of charcoal rot and Rhizoctonia root rots. Genotypes JS335, JS20-69, JS97-52, KDS980, and KDS992 were found to be the most divergent and promising genotypes based on various traits and may be used as parents in future hybridization programmes to breed tolerance/ resistance to Rhizoctonia root rot and charcoal rot using conventional and/or molecular breeding approaches.
