Stripe
rust has been reported in UI Pettit in the Rockford area south west of
Blackfoot.
Stripe
rust has been reported in WB936 on west side of Idaho Falls.
Stripe
rust has been reported in a spring feed barley (http://www.westbred.com/Products/Northwest/Barley%20Documents/WESTBRED_501.pdf)
north of Rupert. The barley was in milk to soft dough. Fungicide application is
not recommended for the barley, and in addition the allowable time frame has
passed for fungicide application in that field.
Warmer
temperatures should slow the rate of spread, but the nighttime cool
temperatures and irrigated conditions will still allow the fungi to advance. IF
the infections are appearing within the appropriate time frame, fungicide
application is recommended to reduce yield loss in susceptible varieties.
Please read and follow all label directions.
