The rate of seed mottling depended on soybean cultivars and strains of SMV. Some cultivars inoculated with 3 strains of SMV were highly mottling-snsceptible and others were highly mottling-resistant or absence of Seed mottling. The rate of seed mottling infected by Strain 1 of SMV was more than strain 2 or strain 3. The disease rating index of infected plants did not correlate with the rate of Seed mottling. Improved quality of Soybean seed with the help of selective breeding of mottling-resistant variety that may tbe feasible.
