Brief Project Summary:

The goal of the project is to develop programs to notify producers, through media outlets, within hours of detection of significant outbreaks of yield-limiting diseases so that timely treatment decisions can be made. This involves monitoring the occurrence and geographic location of foliar diseases, including rust, then providing producers with up-to-date information that can be used to make timely treatment decisions. The effort also aims to determine environmental conditions that promote soybean rust and develop effective fungicide management schemes for rust treatment in locations where it occurs.
