Stripe rust situation statement,
September 2008
Although the onset of spring has
been slow, it is clear that the early development of stripe rust
in eastern Australia and the significant increase in pathogen
inoculum over a wide area by the end of winter has set the stage
for a potentially damaging epidemic. Management strategies now
under consideration will need to give due regard to the expected
response of varieties to stripe rust, and this will be governed
largely by pathotype distribution. Other factors that will vary
on an a case by case basis will include expected yield
potential, time of disease onset, costs associated with
fungicide application and short range weather forecasts.
