Stripe Rust Appearing in Express Fields in Yolo & Solano Counties

3/15/04
Report from UCCE Farm Advisor Kent Brittan:

Strip rust is being found in Yolo and Solano Counties in wheat fields growing the Express variety.  I recommend that all fields with Express variety wheat be thoroughly examined for strip rust.  If strip rust is found, treat immediately.  Summit wheat is holding up well at this time and so are all other varieties.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact Kent Brittan at klbrittan@ucdavis.edu or (530) 666-8143.
