Discussion: Is the soybean rust threat over?

From Stopsoybeanrust.com - X.B. Yang asks and answers: Soybean rust -- Are we out of the woods?

12/15/20005 -- In the discussion board portion of a Web site, I recently read a message with a similar subject title by a producer. This question is also one producers in the North Central Region are asking because of the light occurrence of soybean rust this past season. Development of the disease was surprisingly slower than most of us had anticipated. In this article, I will address the questions raised by producers by reviewing what we learned this past growing season, which was summarized during the National Soybean Rust Symposium held last month.
