Southern corn rust has been identified in Jackson County, Florida. As of today there has not been any southern corn rust identified in Georgia. I will keep you informed when locations in Georgia have confirmed identifications.

Corn is susceptible to yield loss from southern corn rust until it reaches R6/dough stages. The current weather is conducive for the movement of the disease. Samples will continue to be taken from Bulloch County and other locations throughout the state.
