Core ideas An assay was developed to independently assess factors leading to IDC in soybean. Calcium carbonates have a greater influence on IDC symptoms than pH. Nodulation improved resistance to IDC in highly resistant and low resistant soybean genotypes. The developed assay is highly sensitive and can detect slight differences in IDC resistance.
