Soybean rust is a disease that affects soybeans and other legumes. It is caused by two types of fungi, Phakopsora pachyrhizi, commonly known as Asian soybean rust, and Phakopsora meibomiae, commonly known as New World soybean rust. P. meibomiae is the weaker pathogen of the two and generally does not cause widespread problems.
Phialophora gregata is a Deuteromycete [1] fungus that is a plant pathogen which causes the disease commonly known as brown stem rot of soybean. P. gregata does not produce survival structures, but has the ability to overwinter as mycelium in decaying soybean residue.
Cercospora kikuchii is a fungal plant pathogen that affects soybeans. [1] It results in both the Cercospora leaf blight and purple seed stain diseases on soybean and is found almost worldwide. C. kikuchii produces the toxin cercosporin, as do a number of other Cercospora species.

Phakopsora pachyrhizi is able to affect up to 31 different plant species that belong to 17 different genera under natural conditions. Experiments in laboratories were able to use P. pachyrhizi to infect 60 more plant species. [1] [2] The main hosts are Glycine max (soybean), Glycine soja (wild soybean), and Pachyrhizus erosus (Jicama).
Phomopsis longicolla is a species of ascomycete fungus in the family Diaporthaceae. It is a plant pathogen and mainly responsible for a soybean disease called Phomopsis seed decay (PSD) . In other plant species, P. longicolla can also live as an endophyte , such as in the mangrove plant Sonneratia caseolaris . [ 2 ]
Diaporthe phaseolorum var. sojae is the perfect form of the causal pathogen of pod and stem blight of soybean. [2] It is a fungal ascomycete that commonly infects seeds, pods, stems, and petioles. This pathogen is also found in its imperfect state, Phomopsis sojae. This is a common disease of most soybean growing regions in the United States ...
Aspergillus flavus is a saprotrophic and pathogenic [1] fungus with a cosmopolitan distribution. [2] It is best known for its colonization of cereal grains , legumes , and tree nuts . Postharvest rot typically develops during harvest, storage, and/or transit.
