The primary goal of this continuing proposal is to develop relevant data and management strategies for the control of ASR in North America. While Florida is not a major soybean producing state, it has thousands of acres of kudzu, an alternative host of the pathogen, and high soybean rust disease pressure. A secondary goal is to provide facilities and support for soybean rust research with researchers throughout the U.S.
