Asiatic Soybean Rust has been found in Tift County, Georgia. Jim Dunphy, N.C. State University Extension soybean specialist, and Steve Koenning, NCSU Extension plant pathologist, noted the recent discovery in their Soybean Rust Update for August 21, 2012. That puts the ASR closer to soybeans in the eastern part of North Carolina than has otherwise been found this year.
