Stripe rust really took off in our inoculated, irrigated fungicide trials in Rossville, KS. A nice view for a plant pathologist! Here we’re evaluating fungicide efficacy, timing, and residual life. Stay tuned for more management info!
What a fun day planting our sorghum trials in Russel, KS, with The @Midwaycrops ! Stay tuned for more info on how to manage stalk rot diseases through variety, row spacing, population, and fungicide trials. Field day on radar!!
Send us your FHB infected heads! We are on our 3rd year of collecting samples from wheat and Kernza. We’ve learned some fascinating things about which Fusarium species infect and use that info to inform breeding! Instructions in comments! Please retweet!
Send ~3+ heads, location, and any other information you may have (variety, treatments, etc) to Rupp Lab, 4024 Throckmorton PSC, 1712 Claflin, Manhattan, KS 66506
Soilborne wheat mosaic virus Vs. Spindle streak in winter wheat. SB is much more uniform across varieties with major stunting and yellowing, while Spindle streak is harder to find with single plants affected and more subtle mosaic symptoms. #awp#kswheat
This is the “hottest” year for Soilborne/spindle streak in Manhattan that I’ve seen. Out taking some opportunistic scores. If you want to come look, let me know! #awp#kswheat#fhbnursery
When spring comes and you’re out scouting wheat, don’t get fooled by purple tips! Flip them over, if its brown on the reverse side it’s much more likely frost damage. #Kswheat#BYD#awp2023
I'm thrilled to announce that I've accepted a tenure track position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology @epp_tn at UT. I'm excited to join the fantastic team at @UTIAg and can't wait to work with such amazing colleagues and collaborators.
