Diaporthe phaseolorum var. sojae is the perfect form of the causal pathogen of pod and stem blight of soybean.[2] It is a fungal ascomycete that commonly infects seeds, pods, stems, and petioles. This pathogen is also found in its imperfect state, Phomopsis sojae. This is a common disease of most soybean growing regions in the United States. Losses result from losses in field stands, reductions in yield, and poor seed quality.[3]
