Nf05-633 Soybean Rust: How Great Is The Threat For Nebraska?, Loren J. Giesler
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Soybean rust is a serious foliar disease that has caused significant crop losses in other parts of the world. It was first detected in the United States in November 2004 and has since been identified in several southeastern states. The fact that wind-borne spores principally spread soybean rust suggests it will be a seasonal problem in Nebraska.
This NebFact discusses the symptoms, life cycle, host range, potential impact on soybean production, and management of soybean rust in the state of Nebraska.
