Asian soybean rust, which arrived in the U.S. in 2004, has the potential to be the single most important impediment to economical organic production in the U.S., with the economic impact of ASR in organic systems ranging from $30 to $120 million in yield loss, upon its arrival in organic soybean areas. The fungus (Phakopsora pachyrhiz) survives year-round in warm areas, such as the southern United States. During a growing season, the pathogen is disseminated by northward seasonal wind.
