First rust find in Florida for 2007

The Florida Cooperative Extension Service reported today that rust was found in kudzu last week north of Tampa. Here's the report from the USDA web site:

It is still very dry but we did find rust in a kudzu site in Pasco County, north of Tampa, for the first time in 2007. The site was found positive on April 27; this same site was also positive in 2006. We had some scattered rain last week but the soil is very dry and leaf moisture from dew is still limiting. Forecast is for continuing dry weather. The kudzu is growing rapidly.
