Abstract
Rhizoctonia root rot, caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn, is a soilborne disease that can cause yield loss in soybean (Glycine max). The soybean cultivar 'Savoy' has partial resistance to R. solani. 'Savoy' was crossed to 'Jack', a cultivar that is susceptible to R. solani. Progeny from this cross was evaluated in the greenhouse for reaction to R. solani. Reaction and segregation of the F2 and F3 generations to R. solani indicated that resistance behaves as a quantitative trait. Heritability estimates indicate that selection for resistance to R. solani in soybean based on F2:3 family means would be more efficient than selecting on a single F2 plant basis.
