F&N Tests Publishes
Soybean Rust
Fungicide Trials
 Several
soybean rust fungicide
trials have
now been published in Fungicide
and Nematicide Tests. Conducted
in Brazil, the trials compared twelve fungicide treatments for
percent rust infection, area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC), grain
yield, and, in two trials, percent defoliation. "Our goal was to make
available reliable information regarding fungicide efficacy," said co-author
of the reports, Brian Olson.
He added, "These trials
should be of particular interest to soybean producers, fungicide suppliers,
crop advisers, and extension personnel."
"We hope to
publish additional soybean rust trials in real time as they become available
from within the United States and around the world," said Dan Egel, F&N Tests
Editor-in-Chief. Egel added, "We encourage researchers to share their results
via F&N Tests.
