Leaf rust<\/span>\u00a0has been confirmed\u00a0 in southwest Georgia\u00a0in commercial wheat<\/span> fields. While the incidence appears to be\u00a0localized, recent weather\u00a0patterns observed in the southern US can contribute\u00a0to the dispersal and establishment of the disease. Additionally, we are\u00a0having favorable\u00a0environmental conditions for leaf rust<\/span> development. THEREFORE\u00a0wheat<\/span> field scouting and monitoring should be\u00a0implemented at this time. If leaf rust<\/span> is present in your field, this warrants\u00a0a fungicide application.

Some of the wheat in our area is at or approaching a critical stage for fungicide application. The most effective time for fungicide application is at flag leaf emergence. Applications through heading may be beneficial,\u00a0particularly for control of Stagonospora glume blotch.<\/p>\n

For more effective and longer lasting protection a mix of a triazole and strobirulin is suggested. Remember, when\u00a0rust has become established in a field, triazole fungicides tend to work the best.<\/p>\n
