For susceptible and moderately resistant varieties sown in mid-May, a foliar fungicide application at mid-anthesis will help preserve yield and quality. When susceptible and moderately resistant varieties are sown in early June in central Saskatchewan, fungicide application at stem elongation or mid-anthesis was equally beneficial...
In susceptible varieties, a single foliar fungicide application at flag leaf reduced stripe rust severity and protected yield potential. A single fall foliar application was not effective. A moderately resistant variety did not require a spring foliar application. Stripe rust of winter wheat, caused by Puccinia...
When stripe rust severity was low, resistant and intermediate wheat and barley varieties did not suffer significant yield losses. When leaf spot and stripe rust disease levels were high, a foliar fungicide application was necessary to reduce yield losses even on resistant varieties. Seven spring wheat...
