Wheat rust and resistant varieties guidance released
Officials outline rust spore spread and the race of stem rust. Most wheat varieties resist old rust races but remain highly susceptible to a new type. The Department of Agriculture hopes for rust resistant wheat development in years ahead. Farmers are urged to keep current varieties, plant good seed, apply phosphate and potash fertilizers, and destroy barberry plants to reduce rust sources. Recurrent outbreak depends on conditions, hosts, and virulent spores present in fields.
