According to Travis Faske, Extension plant pathologist with the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, growers can tell the difference between Southern corn rust and common rust by the colors of the pustules.

El Nino weather pattern will likely interfere with Georgia corn planting in March. A delay would increase the likelihood of diseases, too. Growers are advised to plant resistant varieties and be ready to apply fungicides earlier than normal.
A wet winter has already saturated Georgia’s soils, and more wet and cool conditions are expected through the first part of spring, according to UGA agricultural climatologist Pam Knox. “The rains associated with passing storms will keep soils wet for the foreseeable future,” she said.

Southern rust was confirmed the first week of August on corn in Caldwell County, Kentucky.
Based on photos from an industry representative, it also appears to be present in Logan County (lab confirmation pending). The disease has been developing in southern Georgia and Mississippi throughout July, and it also has been detected recently in Nebraska, Arkansas, Kansas and Illinois. I suspect that southern rust is at low levels in several locations in Kentucky, although scouting thus far suggests it is not yet widely prevalent. In other words, there is no need for “panic.” Just need watchful eyes.
