Brief Project Summary:

Asian soybean rust was found in 18 Alabama counties in 2004, 32 in 2005, 26 in 2006 and 40 in 2007. Predictions indicate that yield loss from soybean rust could reach 50% in the Southeast U.S., but the disease can be managed with fungicides. Fungicide applications can reduce yield loss, depending on the plant developmental stage, time when soybean rust is detected, and application method. This project will evaluate how best to use different timings and combinations of fungicides to control soybean rust.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
