Got my favourite field day comment after explaining adult plant resistance (APR) last week (photo 1). ‘Yeah, but you are still losing green leaf area with APR!’ 🤔😤Response: then grow a variety with little or no APR (ie susceptible, photo 2). Problem solved. 🤣

Nearly there tick, tick……Thanks to the 45 responders so far. Would be awesome to make 50!
Thanks

Mr Matthew William from the Cereal Rust Survey team (PBI Cobbitty, University of Sydney) is currently on paddock visits across key regions: Wagga Wagga → Griffith → Parkes → Tamworth → Goondiwindi → Toowoomba. Keep an eye out.

Fungal pathogen crosses #barley boundaries 👉 https://t.co/PbWO0POITK

Historically regarded as wheat-specific, Puccinia striiformis (which causes #striperust) can breach host-species lines under the right conditions.

The Australian Cereal Rust Control Program is supporting a coordinated response.

@agrobaz Thanks @agrobaz. Only other wheat stripe rust report so far this season in Sunmaster CWNSW this week. A few reports of STB as far north as Gilgandra this week also. Current wet weather welcome but will mean vigilance on leaf diseases. @pinnacleag, @BradBaxter1985 @PbiCobbitty

Can’t wait to see our book in print. With 22 comprehensive chapters (419 pp), the book will be very useful to those who aspire to work on wheat rusts & genetics of disease resistance.

The book cover pic is the photo that I took in 2013 from a wheat field near Stornoway, SK.

Fantastic resource for Australian grain growers with support from @theGRDC

[Mumta Chhetri @mumchh]

Happy new year to everyone

[GRDC @theGRDC]

Early detections point to a challenging year for #StripeRust if conditions persist.

That's the latest from @Sydney_Uni's Dr Mumta Chhetri & Professor Robert Park, who are urging growers to closely monitor weather in their area.
