Biocontrol of Three Severe Diseases in Soybean

Three damaging soybean diseases, Sclerotinia stem rot caused by a fungus sclerotiorum (Lid.) de Bary, Phytophthora root sojae, and cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe), are destructive to growth yield cause huge economic losses. Biocontrol is an effective way control diseases with the advantage of being environmentally friendly sustainable. To date, few reviews have reported these three through biocontrol measures. In this review, biological characteristics pathogens incidence features were first introduced. Then, agents containing fungi bacteria capable controlling as well their abilities, emphasized, followed mechanisms action. Bacillus Streptomyces found possess ability all under greenhouse or field conditions. Finally, suggestions about screening new species deeply studied molecular provided for further research on diseases.
