Lead: according to Jose Tadashi yoriori, chief soybean scientist at EMBRAPA, Brazil's government's agricultural research agency, the U.S data transmission network reported on Thursday that the damage caused by soybean rust in Brazil this year was lower than expected, mainly due to dry weather He added that since Brazil's soybean harvest is only 20% complete, it is too early to assess the damage caused by rust this year But preliminary estimates suggest that the damage could be 500000 bags or 1.1 million bushels, compared with 4.6 million bags or 10 million bushels in the same period last year Tadashi said growers bought more fungicides this year, but because of the dry weather, they didn't need to use so much, because the spread of rust will slow down when the weather is dry
