Rust Infection of Winter Wheat Across Missouri Valley
Agents of the U S Department of Agriculture report moderate stem rust infection on hard winter wheats throughout the Missouri Valley and surrounding areas with heavier infection on soft winter wheats. Late seeding and ample moisture in late May and June favored rust development, but barberry eradication and resistant varieties reduce local sources. Movement of rust from north to south remains as rapid as usual despite favorable upper Mississippi Valley weather.
