Rotation crops as ecological niches for the survival of Xanthomonas citri pv. glycines and Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens in soybean systems (2026)

Abstract Bacterial pustule (caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. glycines – Xcg) and bacterial tan spot (caused by Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens – Cff) are emerging threats to soybean cultivation in Brazil. This study evaluated the survival period and area under the population curve (A
