AgraQuest Launches Ballad(TM) Biofungicide for Asian Soybean Rust

There are no known varieties that are resistant to
soybean rust, but the USDA is working on developing varieties that will resist
damage.
Developed by University of Georgia (UGA) Professor of Entomology,
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and InsectiGen's Chief Science Officer,
Michael Adang, the licensed BtBooster(TM) technology has the potential to help
increase worldwide crop yields and farm level productivity.
