2022 Pulse Crop Survey

2022 Pulse Crop Survey

Posted on: December 8, 2022 by Ruth Givens & Ronda Hirnyck

The Pulse Crop Survey is an annual survey of pulse crop growers and consultants about pulse crop diseases and their management, conducted by Montana State University. Through this survey we aim to understand which resources pulse growers and consultants seek out for information, which diseases challenge pulse crop production, which integrated pest management practices are implemented, and how effective they are perceived to be. 

Please consider participating in this survey. Your participation in this survey will help us identify research needs and resources needed to support economic and sustainable pulse crop production in the Northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest. Your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. This survey should only take 10 minutes of your time.

soybean rust in beans

Dry Beans    Treasure Valley - Idaho

Posted on: May 5, 2004 by Jerry Neufeld

Following is information provided by Melodie Putnam of the Oregon State University Plant Clinic.

Soybean rust is an exotic pathogen that is not established in the continental U.S. It has recently moved north of the equator, and is currently in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Like other rust diseases (such as wheat rusts), this disease can move long distances in air currents, and is expected to reach the U.S. soon.

Why should we in the West care about soybean rust? Because it also goes to yellow sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis), vetch (Vicia dasycarpa), lupine (Lupinus hirsutus), green and kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), lima and butter bean (Phaseolus lunatus) and cowpea or backeyed pea (Vigna unguiculata). Soybean rust can cause severe defoliation and loss of yield in susceptible crops. Therefore, early detection is essential.

Soybean rust is a Federal quarantine status pathogen, but there are no plans for eradication of infected crops. Instead, it has been shown that once an infestation of soybean rust is detected, if early enough, effective control can be obtained with carefully timed fungicide applications. Detection early in the season with properly timed application of fungicides appears to present the best alternative for controlling soybean rust in the United States. It is particularly important to limit the spread of this disease, due to its destructive potential.

Please be alert to the possibility of this rust moving into bean, lupin and other susceptible crops. For more information on soybean rust, including a list of hosts and photographs of symptoms, see http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ppq/ep/soybean_rust/.

Oregon growers should contact the OSU Plant Clinic for information on how to proceed if soybean rust is suspected in their crops. Please contact:
