Effects of field applications of benomyl on Phomopsis seed decay of early soybeans were investigated at Suwon in 1992 and 1993. Pod and immature seed infections were markedly suppressed by benomyl application at the R6 stage whereas the spray at the R7 stage was not as effective as the spray at R6. When compared with unsprayed plots, benomyl spray at R6 resulted in decrease in Phomopsis seed infection by 37.1% and 73.9%, and increased in frequency of seed germination by 1.8% and 8.0% in 1992 and 1993, respectively. The results indicated that only one spray at early R6 could effectively reduce seed infection by Phomopsis spp.and could be adopted in a disease management program for commercial production of healthy soybean seeds.

The effect of field sanitation using ecological characters of the pathogen was investigated for controlling Phomopsis seed decay in soybean. Field sanitation which was eliminated the inoculum by removing host debris, abscised petioles and cotyledones out of field, reduced remarkably infection percentage of pods and seeds by Phomopsis spp. as compared to the inoculated field. Neverthless, seed infection was 28.7% in the sanitized field. The fields sanitized by benlate application around the soybean plants also decreased seed infection with Phomopsis spp. Total seed infection including that with miscellaneous pathogens occurred as much as 75∼79% to the no application and their control values were 34∼42% over the routine application schedule. Even though it was not satisfactory, field sanitation seemed to be effective in controlling Phomopsis seed decay when infection pressure was low level. Diaporthe phseolorum va. sojae, D. phaseolorum var. caulivora and Phomopsis longicolla were mostly identified from soybean seeds and Colletotrichum truncatum, Cercospora kikuchiana were also isolated in sequence. Field sanitation did not significantly increase in soybean yield over the no application, while routine application schedule did in field.

Northern stem canker caused by $Diaporthe$ $phaseolorum$ var. $caulivora$ ($Dpc$) has become a serious disease in soybean. The objectives of this study were to survey the existence of $Dpc$ on soybean in Korea, and to examine the potential pathogenicity of $Dpc$ in seed decay. One such isolate, SSLP-4, isolated from a field-grown plant of the Korean soybean cultivar Danbaekkong, was identified as $Dpc$, based on its morphological and molecular characteristics by sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS), translation elongation factor (TEF) 1-${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$-tubulin regions, as well as pathogenic analyses. Moreover, morphological and molecular analyses revealed that isolate SSLP-4 was nearly identical to $Dpc$ strains from the United States. Pathogenicity tests on hypocotyls of soybean seedlings and detached leaves resulted in typical symptoms of soybean northern stem canker and inoculation on plants at R5-R7 stage caused seed decay. All results suggest that the $Dpc$ strain SSLP-4 can cause both stem canker and seed decay on soybean. Thus, the SSLP-4 isolate has the potential to contribute greatly to understanding of host plant resistance mechanisms, both at vegetative and reproductive growth stages in soybean.

This study was conducted to obtain the basic informations for producing high quality seeds of vegetable soybeans. Four vegetable soybean cultivars, 'Okharawase', 'Mikawashima', 'Hwaeomputkong', and 'Seokryangputkong' were planted at four locations, Chulwon(altitude, 192m) and Pyeongchang(altitude, 370m) in highland, and Suwon(altitude, 37m)and Daegu(altitude, 55m) in lowland of Korea with two planting dates, May 15 and June 15. Seed infection rates were attributed by in order of phomopsis seed decay caused by Phomopsis spp., seed mottling caused by soybean mosaic virus (SMV), purple seed stain caused by Cercospora kikuchii. Seed infectron rate was the lowest at Pyeongchang and lower on June 15 than on May 15 planting. Phomopsis seed decay by Phomopsis spp. was lower in highland of Korea, Pyeongchang and Chulwon, than in lowland of Korea, Suwon and Daegu. Seed infection rate was also lower on June 15 planting than on May 15, and in seeds harvested at maturity than at ten days after maturity. Germination rate of seeds harvested in highland, Pyeongchang and Chulwon, after six to seven month storage at 5$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ was more than 90% and higher than that of the seeds in lowland, Suwon and Daegu. Germination rate was also higher on June 15 than on May 15 planting.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of benomyl application at different growth stages on the infection of green pod and seed by Phomopsis spp. and yield in vegetable soybean. One early maturing vegetable soybean variety 'Seokryangputkong' was planted on 20 April at Suwon in 1996. The rate of non-infected green pods by Phomopsis spp. was most highly suppressed by benomyl application once at the R5 stage and twice at R4 and R6 stages. The rate of non-infected green pods was higher in branches than in mainstem, and in upper than in low part of plant. The Phomopsis seed decay at maturity was most highly decreased by benomyl application once at the R6 stage and twice at the R4 and R6 stages. Benomyl application effectively reduced the infection rate of green pod and seeds by Phomopsis spp. and increased the yield of non-infected green pods by 34∼76％ and non-infected seeds by 51∼98％.

This investigation was conducted to determine the effect of the optimum planting date and place for good seed production on growth variation, grain yields, different of variety, infection of seed by fungi, and seed germination and vigor after room storage. Early maturity Korean soybean variety, Keunolkong, and introduced vegetable soybean variety, Fukura-edamame, were planted at field of YAES. and high cool land of Sajapyong in Milyang（altitude, 850m） on May 15 （early）, June 15 （mid.）, and July 15 （late） in 1991. The emergence and vegetative period gradually increased in the early planting date. The grain yield, seed weight, pod number, healthy grain yield also increased when Keunolkong was planted on early date. The healthy seed rate, Keunolkong increased in the early planting date, whereas that of Fukura also increased in the late planting date. Infection ratio of grain to phomopsis seed decay （Phomopsis spp. ' Diaporthe phaseolorum） in Fukura steadily increased in the early planting date. Infection ratio of grain to purple seed stain （Cercospora kikuchii） generally increased in the mid and late planting date. The seed germination and seedling vigor after room storage from five to six months gradually increased in the late planting date. And seed germination of Fukura rapidly decreased in the early planting date. Therefore, the optimum planting date for good seed production in early maturity vegetable soybean was June 15 in terms of harvesting time avoid a high temprature and humidity.
