Table 5.
The comparison of non-symptomatic compared to infected soybean seed as it influenced seed fatty acids content. The field experiment was conducted in 2019 at the Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville, MS.
| Measurement | Non-Infected x | Infected y | LSD | Pr > F |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (%) | ||||
| Linoleic Acid | 54.2 a | 53.3 a | - | 0.2845 |
| Stearic Acid | 4.5 a | 4.5 a | - | 0.8477 |
| Palmitic Acid | 9.9 a | 10.7 a | - | 0.1084 |
| Oleic Acid | 18.8 a | 18.9 a | - | 0.9070 |
| Linolenic Acid | 10.1 a | 10.1 a | - | 0.9225 |
Means within a row followed by different letters are significantly different at p ≤ 0.05. x non-symptomatic seed showed no sign of purple seed stain (PSS); y infected seed had visual symptoms of PSS infection.
