The possibility of a wet spring in Washington, combined with the early detection of stripe rust, are indicators that growers and consultants should be vigilant in their field scouting, says Washington State University Extension.

While mild fall weather has led diseases to develop, South Dakota State Extension says there has been little research showing the effect of a fall foliar fungicide on winter wheat yield.
Texas A&M University professor Amir Ibrahim and colleagues have released a cultivar of winter wheat, TAM 305, that is resistant to many rust fungi that are a plague to the crop.
