Description
·Soybean rust (SBR), caused by the fungus Phalwpsora pachyrhizi, was first detected in the
. United States in Louisiana in early November, 2004. Epidemics of the disease in the North
Central Region are predicted to be sporadic, and with varying intensity, depending on the timing
and speed of northward movement of the pathogen ITomthe South, and the level of over-winter
survival of the SBR fungus in the Gulf Coast and Caribbean regions. Since 2005, growing
season conditions have not been conducive for SBR development except in states that border
the Gulf of Mexico. However, significant late-season movement of the disease into the Midwest
occurred in 2007. At the present, we still do not have a complete awareness ofthe full potential
for SBR to damage soybean in the North Central Region. The goal of this proposal is to
continue the soybean rust monitoring and the early warning network that was established in
2005.
