Question

what is the rust of wheat​

Answer 1

Wheat leaf rust is a fungal disease that affects wheat, barley and rye stems, leaves and grains. In temperate zones it is destructive on winter wheat because the pathogen overwinters. Infections can lead up to 20% yield loss, which is exacerbated by dying leaves, which fertilize the fungus.

Host: Wheat

Causal agents: Puccinia triticina

Common names: Brown rust; Leaf rust

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate

Rusts are the most important foliar diseases of wheat in Australia. Compared to stripe and stem rust, leaf rust is potentially the least damaging in susceptible varieties, but in most seasons conditions are conducive for this disease.

• In most parts of Victoria leaf rust is effectively controlled with resistant varieties, but it can cause problems in areas where susceptible varieties are grown.
