Geocache Description:


Wheat problems or diseases

 

Leaf rust, stem rust, and stripe rust are fungal diseases that infect leaves and stems. They are known as rusts because the red spores they produce often make the plant look rusty. These diseases spread when spores are released and are carried on the wind to other wheat plants. There they germinate and use the nutrients in the wheat plant to grow and develop many more spores. Rusts spread quickly during moderate temperatures and high humidity when plants are wet from dew or rain. Severe rust damage can reduce wheat yields by 25 percent or more. Many wheat varieties have at least some resistance to rusts.
