Check early sown wheat for yellow rust - October

Yellow rust levels were high in susceptible winter wheat varieties last year, so expect early sown varieties to be at risk.
Check crops regulalry for signs of disease. Robigus will be at risk, but check all varieties, including Alchemy. Where a protectant seed treatment was applied, the risk of a winter outbreak will be low. Note Alchemy is at risk from brown rust and this disease can become established over the winter in early sown crops.
