Soybean Rust Update – July 10, 2009

Bob Mulrooney, Extension Plant Pathologist; bobmul@udel.edu

Soybean rust was found on soybean for the first time in a Florida sentinel plot in Gadsden County in the panhandle. Rust is developing in kudzu sites in the other positive counties in Florida. Some areas have been very hot and wet others have been hot with no rain. Rust is developing slowly so far.
