Symptoms• Brick-red spots on upper leaf
surface
• Pustules form on lower leaf surface
• Leaves yellow and defoliate
• Confused with other foliar diseases!
• YOUNG infections MAY BE MISSED– 1-2 pustules per leaf– Color range: clear, tan, red

Disease Development• Fungal spores = urediniospores
• Wind or wind-blown rain
• Land on leaf, penetration
• Pustules form after about 10 days
• 1 pustule can produces spores for 3 wks
• More wind = more infections
• Canopy closure and crop flowering
400X
60X
Disease Development
• Totally defoliates plant or until environment is no longer conducive
• 59-84°F optimal range, long dew periods
• Defoliation can occur 4-6 wks from initial infection
2005 Sentinels
• 25 total sentinel plots in GA– 3 clover– 5 kudzu– 17 soybean sentinels
• Sentinels scouted weekly
• Soybean: 50’ X 50’ plots– MG II, III, IV planted from 1st to
3rd wk of April
D. Hershman
2005 Disease Monitoring• 100 leaves or leaflets examined
– Visually– Dissection microscopy (60-80X)
• Soybean: 40 lower, 40 mid, 20 upper canopies = 100 leaflets
• Severity (low, moderate, or heavy)
• Incidence (leaflets infected of total collected)
• First finds for each county were confirmed by PCR or UGA trained expert
2005 Spore Trapping
• 10 spore traps provided by Syngenta
• Placed in center of each soybean sentinel
• Slides changed weekly
• Analyzed by J. Rupe, U. Ark.

What happened in 2005?Disease Monitoring
• Clover = no rust• Kudzu = 1 of 5 sites had
rust• Soybean = 13 of 17 sites
had rust
• First find: Seminole County• First sentinel: Tift County,
Lang Research Farm
• First commercial farm: Appling County
• 33 counties by Nov 3 – ~60 miles per wk

2006 Sentinels• Number based on funding from USDA and NCSRP
• At least 22 in Georgia
• Clover or lupine
• Kudzu– Overwintering sentinels– 10 in Georgia
• Soybean– Disease monitoring– Spore trapping
2006 Sentinels• Protocol modified
• Scouting interval: every two weeks until bloom
• Collect 100 leaflets from lower soybean canopy
• Dissection microscopy (40 – 60X)
• Incubation (24-48 hr)
• Need for education and training
Yorinori
Summary• Rust can be detrimental if undetected and infects early
in growing season (S. America)
• Rust CAN be managed
• Proactive scouting and monitoring needs to continue in 2006
• Communication with county agents and extension specialists – need to know what to scout for!
• Timely fungicide applications with good products – 1st application VERY important
• Still a learning process…we do not have all the answers yet
