soybean. At (P=0.05), In Girie local government area, result showed high percentage severity in
GREF-5 and GREF-8 having the highest value (85%) respectively, the highest percentage
disease incidence was recorded in GREF-5 (79.4%). Percentage disease incidence and severity in
Yola-South was also high with YLSF-2 having the highest value (71.3%) and (85%) respectively.
In the central geopolitical zone of Adamawa state, the Percentage incidence is moderate with
mean value of (50.0%). Percentage severity is generally high in the zone with mean value of
