Subject: Soybean Rust: "Cautionary Tale"



Ashburn, GA, (very close to Heaven!)
I got an email while ago while heading to the farm, and would like to share the highlights. 
A story from a county agent in south Georgia: Bob Kemarait, UGA Plant Pathologist, says, the county agent "...just brought me a sample of soybean leaves from commercial farm in his county.  Grower got busy harvesting corn and did not feel he had the time to spray his soybeans with a fungicide. Crop is currently at R4-R5 and soybean rust is rampant throughout the field, likely approaching 100% incidence and severity of 35% +.  Grower wanted to know what to spray and I had to tell him it is too late.  Estmated yield loss- from our experience at least 25% or more of potential yield. Bottom line- conditions are perfect for explosion of soybean rust 
across much of Coastal Plain of Georgia."
