Many of these water moulds are known as economically important pathogens of species of plants and animals, including fish, crustaceans, and agricultural crop plants. ''Aphanomyces'' water moulds are "one of the most important yield-limiting factors in production of legumes and sugarbeet."

Some of these water moulds are host-specific, such as '' A. iridis'', which only infects irises. Others can infest several hosts, such as '' A. euteiches'', which grows on several ]legume
A legume () is a plant in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae), or the fruit or seed of such a plant. When used as a dry grain, the seed is also called a pulse. Legumes are grown agriculturally, primarily for human consumption, for livestock f ...
