Even though yield losses due to soybean rust have not occurred in Mississippi, soybean rust remains a constant threat to profitable soybean production. Over the past four seasons the soybean rust sentinel plot monitoring network has saved soybean producers in Mississippi potentially millions of dollars by providing information and advocating no chemical action after rust has been reported in the region. This system has successfully created an information network to warn producers to the impending threat of soybean rust. This project will continue the monitoring of soybean sentinel plots, kudzu and commercial soybean fields for the presence of soybean rust through the growing season.
