Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by the fungus, Phakopsora pachyrhizi, was found in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana on November 6, 2004. This was the first confirmed case of ASR on soybeans in North America. Prior to this find, ASR had been found no farther north than five degrees north latitude in Columbia in the Western Hemisphere.
