      <description><![CDATA[In managing soybean rust, the use of “sentinel plots” plays a large role in providing information on the spread of the disease. 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. - Full Content set to .]]></description>
