The objective of sentinel plots is to have a crop in the field well ahead of the traditional crop, thus acting as a “trap” crop for the spores. If rust is detected in the sentinel plots, this will allow proper production decisions on a regional and statewide basis to be made accordingly. http://text.lsuagcenter.com/en/crops_livestock/crops/soybeans/Asian_Soybean_Rust/Sentinel_Plots/Sentinel+Plots.htm DLanclos@agcenter.lsu.edu (David Y.
