Asian Soybean Rust Phakopsora pachyrhizi
Control strategies
• Fungicides are most effective in preventative control programs
• All stages of crop are susceptible assuming favorable environmental conditions & viable pathogen.
Vegetativestages
• Current findings* indicate R1 is the optimal time to begin applications.
• Second application* 20+ days later depending upon disease pressure
*Based on DAS experiences in South America & Africa
R1 – R2bloom
Control StrategiesScouting of crop is still critical to determining optimum time to begin treatments in your crop

Application Recommendation
•COVERAGE Breaking through the canopy and covering lower leaves is critical to control
•Water Volume: Air – 5-10 GPA; Ground – 15-25 GPAHigher water volume equals better coverage
•Nozzles: Hollow Cone – 20” spacing; 2-3 feet above the canopy. Provide better air & canopy movement; Finer droplet size
•Spray Pressure: 20-60 PSI. Higher pressures will provide better canopy movement and better lower canopy coverage
•Ground Speed: 3-10 MPH.
•DAS has conducted efficacy trials throughout South American soybean growing areas since 2002
•In 2004 Brazilian trials, at recommended rates, Laredo & PropiMax performance was equal to or greater than all products currently under US EPA section 18 or Section 3, for soybeans
