Grower confidence in the NCSU's predictions on soybean rust potential impact on the North Carolina soybean production have resulted in a situation where less than 10% of the state soybean is sprayed for soybean rust resulting in large savings in production costs. The project will continue a monitoring network for early detection of Asiatic soybean rust. A goal of the research is to prevent unnecessary fungicide application to soybean for Asiatic soybean rust. The researchers will provide soybean rust survey information to a network of agents, consultants and dealers to allow for timely application of fungicide applications if needed.
The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
