Soybean Rust Update

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

There has been no change in the soybean rust situation in the South. There is very little soybean rust at the present time. The recent increase in rainfall in many areas of the South may initiate infection of kudzu but time will tell. Soybean planting and the establishment of soybean sentinel plots have been delayed in many areas. Many sentinel plots are ready to be planted in the South as soon as things dry out enough to get back into the field.
