StopSoybeanRust.com 4/27/2005 -- 2:30 p.m. CST -- Seminole County, Georgia, is the first county outside of Florida to report Asian soybean rust in 2005, according to the USDA Public Soybean Rust Web site today. This is also the first 2005 report of rust found on soybean plants -- the other three confirmations were found on kudzu, all in Florida. The rust was found on volunteer soybeans in the southwestern-most county in Georgia, which is very close to the junction of the Alabama, Florida (panhandle) and Georgia state lines. It's east of Dothan, Ala., and northwest of Tallahassee, Fla.  The specific note from Georgia officials on the site says "Soybean rust confirmed on volunteer soybeans growing near Donalsonville (Ga.) in Seminole County. Also likely found on kudzu in same general area." Donalsonville is the county seat, located in the north central part of the county.  The USDA national commentary on the site says "scouting continues throughout the Southeast, with emphasis on kudzu and volunteer soybean."   The first confirmed findings of Asian soybean rust this year were all on kudzu plants in three Florida counties: Pasco, Hernando and Marion counties (in order of findings.) Many counties in several southeastern states are marked "green" on the U.S. soybean rust observation map, denoting scouting with negative results or the planting of sentinel plots in those counties.
