Stem Extension Treatments Due This Month

Winter Wheat Diseases

The stem extension treatments are key to protecting the crop from the stem base disease common eyespot, and the key foliar diseases Septoria tritici, powdery mildew and yellow rust.

 If crops did not receive an early spring fungicide, pay particular attention to the presence of rusts. Yellow rust and brown rust can both be relatively straight forward to protect against, but are a challenge to eradicate once established.

Stem extension is a good time to protect the crop from common eyespot.  A new risk forecast can help determine the potential risk of your crops from this disease.
