Soybean diseases pose a serious threat to farmers in India, especially during the monsoon season. Rust can cause premature leaf drop, reducing the plant's ability to fill pods, while charcoal rot and collar rot can lead to widespread crop failure during dry spells or in fields with heavy crop residue. These diseases not only lower yields but also affect seed quality, leading to downgrades at the mandi. Farmers growing soybean in the same fields season after season face increased risks due to the survival of fungal pathogens in soil and crop residue.
