Watch For Rust In Early Sown Crops

Yellow and brown rust are both present in crops.

Yellow-brown rust pustules can be seen in some early sown crops now. Identifying which rust it is is not straightforward. 

Of the two, yellow rust will be of most concern in the spring and it can already be found on Robigus.

Early spring fungicides will be required to reduce risk of yellow rust flare up in Robigus.

Brown rust is present in Alchemy but is of less concern and no immediate action is required.
