Clark Soybean Recommended
Despite Blight Trouble

The new Clark variety of soy
bean is still being recommended
to Delaware growers for planting
despite serious attacks of pod and
stem blight which affected it in
some areas this year, says Henry
Indyk, agronomist at the Univer-
sity of Delaware.
Although this fungus disease
appeared to affect Clark worse
than other varieties this year,
particularly in the southern part
of the state, no soybean is resist
ant to it, Indyk says. The disease
shows itself by the appearance of
small, black fruiting bodies in the
pods and stems. Most noticeable
symptom is at harvest time when
the infected seed is covered by a
grayish white growth that gives
it a moldy appearance. The infect
ed seed does not fill out properly,
either.
Pod and stem blight has not
been a serious problem in the
past except for the problem years
of 1943 and 1947, Indyk reports.
Seasons with high humidity and
rainfall, like that which many
parts of the state experienced this
past August, are the ones most
likely to cause pod and stem
