The fungal diseases of soybean, peanut and other cultivated legume crops, gathered together because legumes share a distinct set of rust, leaf spot and stem rot pathogens tied to their growth habit and their agronomic role as a nitrogen-fixing rotation crop. Soybean rust and Sclerotinia stem rot, both capable of severe yield loss across major soybean growing regions, anchor this group alongside the leaf spot and scab pathogens documented specifically on soybean and peanut. Distinct from the diseases of cereal grains, root crops and other field crop families gathered in their own groups here.
