I received notice of stripe rust in S. Illinois today. Stripe rust is an important disease affecting wheat. Please find an article on this disease and management at http://cropdisease.cropsciences.illinois.edu/?p=522 .
If you locate stripe rust in your field please tweet a picture to me (@ILplantdoc) or email (nathank@illinois.edu) with the wheat variety, growth stage, and approximate percent of field infected. This information will be useful to IL wheat producers this year and in upcoming seasons. ∆
