Yellow Rust
|
Agricultural contractors are being advised to watch out for yellow rust in their winter wheat.
Although most agricultural contractors are wary to the relatively higher risks of septoria, yellow rust is common on wheat varieties Oakley and Robigus. Those contractors that have drilled Viscount and Solstice should remain alert to the potential spread of this disease.
Early drilled crops are currently at T0, with administrations of fungicides being crucial to help prevent the threat of yellow rust, however, those crops which were sown later may not be getting protection at the right time. An expert agronomist advises that agricultural contractors adjust the T0 timing for those crops that are at increased risk.
Further south in the country, wheat crops in Devon are displaying high levels of mildew and septoria, whereas agricultural contractors in Hampshire are reporting crops at GS30 stage, hence not quite ready for T0 applications. An agronomist from AICC recommends that at T0 and T1 spraying follows robust procedures, with fairly significant applications of triazole. He advises would benefit their yields and long-term profits to start off with an aggressive program, which can always be reduced as the crop progresses if possible.Agricultural contractors are being advised to watch out for yellow rust in their winter wheat.
