Soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi H. Sydow
& Sydow) can be managed with the use of fungicides. However, early
detection is required for its most effective management. Monitoring
soybean fields and adjacent areas is recommended throughout the growing
season.
Fungicide applications can reduce yield loss, depending on the plant
developmental stage, time when soybean rust is detected, and fungicide
application method.
Efficacy information for producers on fungicides is available through
state university extension services. To this purpose we strongly recommend
you to link to Websites that provide decision support for SBR management:
