We don&#8217;t have much wheat for grain in Wilcox, but this wheat field in Dooly County was hit hard with powdery mildew on March 1st. Generally\u00a0we don&#8217;t have to treat for powdery mildew. It hits about late winter and stays low on the plant. As long as it stays off\u00a0the flag leaf, it doesn&#8217;t cause problems.<\/p>\n<p>However, ag consultant John Offenburg found this field where PM was up on the flag leaves and in a large spot. In this case, we have to put a fungicide on it and hold it back. Not a big issue, but if we&#8217;re in the field, something to look for at this time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leaf Rust<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The traditional disease we have to worry about in small grain is leaf and stripe rust. So far, none has been found in GA to my knowledge. It&#8217;ll come in the Southwest corner of the state and move our way. When it is found near, we will need to put out a protectant fungicide. We will keep an update on this&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_364\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-364\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-364\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/wilcoxcoag\/files\/2018\/03\/Wheat-Rust-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/wilcoxcoag\/files\/2018\/03\/Wheat-Rust-002.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/wilcoxcoag\/files\/2018\/03\/Wheat-Rust-002-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/wilcoxcoag\/files\/2018\/03\/Wheat-Rust-002-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/wilcoxcoag\/files\/2018\/03\/Wheat-Rust-002-184x138.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-364\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leaf rust on wheat in 2013 &#8211; Thomas County, GA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our small grain is booting now and starting to see it heading out pretty good in some fields.
