Fusarium and Rhizoctonia root rots are common soybean diseases in ND that are generally more severe and damaging when plants are stressed. Soil salinity is one of the important stress factors occurring in soybean fields. The effects of high soil salinity levels on soybean growth are well documented, but in addition, research has indicated that salinity can also increase crop diseases. One of the ways that can occur is through the stress on the plant cells which compromises the physiology of the root and increases the severity of disease. This research will examine if low to moderate levels of salinity, where plants still grow under field conditions, can increase the severity of Furarium...
