Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is a destructive disease affecting soybean production. This study aimed to use a phosphite (30% of phosphorus and 20% of potassium) formulated with L-α-free amino acids (Optimus®, Bioiberica, Spain) referred as induced resistance IR stimulus to reduce ASR symptoms and helping plants to have a better photosynthetic performance during infection process.
