Weeds as an inoculum source of Phomopsis/Diaporthe complex

According to available literature (Jackson et al., 2002, Roy et al., 1994), fungi of Phomopsis/Diaporthe genus are parasites of a larger number of weed species. In this research, Phomopsis/Diaporthe was discovered only on Abutilon theophrasti Medik. Species of Phomopsis/Diaporthe genus that proved to be pathogenic to soybean are of particular importance. The Abutilon theophrasti plants infected with Phomopsis sojae Leh., Phomopsis longicolla Hobbs. and Diaporthe phaseolorum (Cke et Ell) Sacc var. caulivora Athow et Caldwell (Dpc) were found on two locations in Eastern Croatia in 2001 and 2002. Symptoms observed on stalks and side-branches were similar to symptoms that occur on soybean plants.
