Southern Corn Rust\u00a0 (pictures by Andy Shirley)\"IMG_2004\"<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Please see the article below by Dr. Bob Kemerait, UGA Extension Plant Pathologist regarding southern rust in corn and Asian soybean rust: “Thanks very\u00a0much to agents\u00a0Chase Hembree and\u00a0Andy Shirley and consultant Rome Ethredge for first detection and diagnosis of southern corn rust (Puccinia polysora) in Georgia this year. \u00a0Many corn growers have been anxiously awaiting updates on detection of southern rust. As of today southern corn rust has only been found in Seminole Co. Georgia.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5 points to consider:\"southern<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Southern corn rust is the most important disease affecting corn in Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Southern corn rust was found today in a very small amount in Seminole County on corn at the R2\/blister stage (older than most corn in the state).<\/span><\/p>\n

3. \u00a0The disease cab spread rapidly in storms and also with irrigation. \u00a0Conditions last week were favorable for development and spread.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. \u00a0I have recommended that growers hold off spraying until we find rust. \u00a0Now that we have found it, I have enough respect for the disease to say that growers in the southwestern part of the state\u00a0whose corn has reached (or is about to reach) tassel growth\u00a0stage an application of fungicide to protect the crop. \u00a0Growers in other areas removed from extreme SW Georgia should consider to monitor the spread of the disease. \u00a0Some may want to make fungicide application either as a 1) safeguard or because 2) they are already making a trip across the field to spray something else.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. \u00a0If northern corn leaf blight is not a problem in a field, then growers have many fungicide options, to include tebuconazole to manage rust. \u00a0For longer protective windows or where NCLB is also a problem, growers should apply strobilurin. or fungicides that\u00a0include some combination of\u00a0strobilurins, triazoles, and SDHI active ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n

ASIAN SOYBEAN RUST<\/span><\/p>\n

As of today, Asian soybean rust has now been found in small amounts\u00a0on KUDZU in the following counties:<\/span><\/p>\n

Miller<\/span><\/p>\n

Baker<\/span><\/p>\n

Grady<\/span><\/p>\n

We can assume that soybean rust is present in low amounts throughout SW Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n
