Crown rust in oats linked to buckthorn in Iowa
Winnebago County farmers report crown rust in oats traced to buckthorn hedges. Extension Director Norbert Dorow cites a May 26 finding by Malcolm Shurtleff of Iowa State College, noting earlier than usual rust development due to warm damp May weather and buckthorn serving as the overwintering host and disease amplifier. Dorow urges buckthorn eradication in farming plans.
