Abstract Plant diseases caused by Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv . flaccumfaciens (Cff) are distributed in North and South America as well as in South and East Europe and occur mostly on beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris ). This is the first report of Cff on soybean in Germany. Cff was detected in complex with Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea on field‐grown soybeans that were not treated with pesticides. Cff, the causal agent of bacterial tan spot disease, was identified by 16S rDNA sequencing and by artificial infection and re‐isolation from the host plants soybean ( Glycine max ) and bush bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ).
