Abstract The study was carried out to determine the comparative pathogenic response of six cultivars of soybean TGx 1844-18E TGx 1448-2E TGx 1910-8F tGx 1019-2EN TGx 1910-8F and TGx 1876-4E to single and mixed infections with cowpea mottle virus and cucumber mosaic virus. The experiment was conducted in the screenhouse at the crop production pavilion Faculty of Agriculture University of Ilorin Ilorin Kwara state Nigeria. The results of the experiment revealed that all soybean cultivars were susceptible to single and mixed infection of the two viruses but to seemingly different extent. The single infection with cowpea mottle virus CMeV however caused the most severe symptoms on the soybean cultivars. Cucumber mosaic virus CMV alone was not as severe as the CMeV. The mixed infection of CMeV and CMV did not cause higher severity than CMeV alone indicating that there was little or no synergistic effect between the two viruses on soybean.
