Click for enlarged photos. First confirmed case found in Mississippi Mississippi's first confirmed case of Asian Soybean Rust has been found in a sentinel plot in George County. The samples were taken on July 13, 2005. One leaf was found positive of the 15 specimens tested. Due to the stage of the crop and the extremely low level of the disease, administrators at the site were not deeply concerned. The situation is very similar in Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The sentinel plot, and others in the state, will be monitored by a surveillance team from MSU and the USDA. Even though this is the first positive find in the state, growers are urged to look at the stage of the crop, yield potential, and consider using fungicides for other diseases in addition to rust.
