The arrival of soybean rust in the fall of 2004 set in motion an unprecedented coordinated effort of education, research, monitoring, and information distribution. The Pest Information Platform for Extension and Education (PIPE) was developed to provide electronic access to distribution data for soybean rust. In 2006, soybean aphid was added to the system and in time, other crops and pests will be added to PIPE. The PIPE Web address is www.sbrusa.net
