CORRECTION: Mississippi: Asian soybean NOT rust "isolated" in kudzu near Lorman

After posting the report from the Field Crop Newsletter about rust being found near Lorman, I received a call from Ernie Flint, Area Extension Agronomist, telling me that he had misunderstood an initial report and that rust, in fact, had not been found in Mississippi as the newsletter stated.

Samples were taken by a veteran plant pathologist who has identified soybean rust in the past. He thought it was rust but, in fact, the DNA tests were negative. They will be rechecking the site.

I apologize for any confusion.
