Lead: Washington, June 6 (Reuters) - the U.S Department of agriculture has no plans to set barriers to imports of South American soybean products, although rust has recently been detected in South American soybeans, government officials said Thursday In Brazil, the Asian rust, which leads to the decrease of yield per unit area, was found in 2.6% of soybean planting area, which poses a great threat to the second largest soybean producing country in the world From Africa to Asia, the spores of the disease are believed to be airborne, and in recent years the fungus, which grows in wet areas, has led to 70 per cent loss of production in some crops in Zimbabwe and Taiwan Jim Roger, spokesman for the U.S Department of agriculture, said that even soybeans and soybean meal infected with bacterial disease can continue to enter the United States as long as they are dry And even if soybean bacterial disease does land in the United States, it will not affect American soybeans as much as Africa and Asia, because American soybeans are planted in warm and moderate areas (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
