It details the roles and responsibilities of various agencies, including the Michigan Department of Agriculture, USDA-APHIS, and Michigan State University, in detection, response, and recovery efforts. The plan emphasizes rapid identification and communication protocols to mitigate economic losses from ASBR, which can severely impact soybean production. It also includes guidelines for fungicide use and management practices to control the disease.

How to control soybean rust?

Thus, remedial control measuresusing fungicides as protective spraysare the main effective disease control method. Soybean rust must be managed as early in the growing season as possible to be managed successfully.

What fungicide is used for soybean rust?

A triazole or triazole-strobilurin mix should be used if soybean rust is present in the field. The second group of fungicides is the strobilurins which include azoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin. This group has some systemic activity, but the strobilurins are not as rapidly absorbed as the triazoles.

What does soybean rust look like?

Tan or reddish-brown lesions (spots) develop first on the underside of leaves. Small pustules (blisters) develop in the lesions, which break open and release masses of tan spores. The lesions and pustules, which can be seen with a 20X hand lens, may also appear on pods and stems.

What is the alternate host for soybean rust?

The soybean rust pathogen is an obligate biotroph, meaning that it must have a living host to survive. The alternate host to soybean rust is kudzu, which can be found abundantly in the Southern United States.
