Soybean (Glycine Max (l.) Merril) and its Biological Control – A Review
Keywords:
Glycine max (L.) Merril, Soybean, Oilseeds, MycofloraAbstract
The soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) is a commercially significant leguminous seed crop for feed and food applications, containing 40% seed protein and 20% oil. Among the major oil crops, soybean ranks first in world production in international trade markets, followed by cottonseed, groundnut (peanut), sunflower seed, rapeseed, linseed, sesame seed, and safflower. Many oilseed crops' seeds are known to have substantial mycoflora. Seed-borne microorganisms have a substantial influence on agricultural production in the field and reduce seed shelf life. Oilseeds are susceptible to fungal attack due to unsanitary storage conditions. The fungus degrades the grains both qualitatively and quantitatively. Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the oilseed seed mycoflora. The paper discusses the changes in seed contents caused by seed infection with seed-borne fungus. According to the current research, Glycine max seeds usually contain a variety of pathogenic fungus that can cause serious infections in the field.
