Currently, there are no soybean cultivars with acceptable levels of resistance to ASR. A commercial soybean cultivar for use in the United States is probably five to ten years away. The good news is that much groundwork has been done. Partial resistance and yield stability are likely to be the most effective resistance strategies. Planting cultivars with resistance to rust pathogens has been very successful in managing rust in wheat and corn and is expected to be similarly successful with ASR.
