Video: Wheat Stripe Rust

Stripe rust (Puccinia striformis) is a fungus that produces a yellowish or orange spore, and pustules appear in a row on infected leaves, giving it a “striped” appearance. Purdue Extension Bulletin BP-79-W, “Identifying Rust Diseases of Wheat and Barley” is available to aid in diagnosis of stripe rust, and can be found at the following link: https://mdc.itap.purdue.edu/item.asp?.... It is important to consider variety susceptibility to stripe rust, growth stage, and disease spread before applying a fungicide for stripe rust management.
