Stripe Rust Situation at mid
Spring 2008
Wheat stripe rust continues to cause problems through the mid
spring period in 2008, and especially in central and northern
NSW, and southern Queensland. Chemical control has been
extensive; industry sources across the
nation indicate that approximately $50million has been expended
on fungicide purchases alone, with additional
expenditure for application costs. Fungicides are still being
considered in late crops that are in some instances
showing evidence of recent infection.
