How will we prevent damage from soybean rust if it occurs in 2010?
Preventative applications of effective fungicides properly timed will prevent yield losses due to soybean rust. Producers should consider applying an R3/R4 fungicide application as a means of potentially preventing yield loss due to the disease. While a fungicide application at this particular growth stage will not provide protection for the rest of the growing season it may delay infection from the SBR causal fungus.
