A new study from Oregon State University shows that fungicide applications are effective in managing stripe rust in winter wheat.   “Our results indicated that the flag leaf application was much more important to preserving yield, than the herbicide timing application earlier in the season," said Christina Hagerty, associate professor of plant pathology based at OSU’s Columbia Basin Agricultu

Over the past two weeks, Washington State University crews have been touring the state, looking for stripe rust.  School officials say so far stripe rust has only been found in WSU disease monitoring and germplasm screening fields in various locations except those around Pullman.  On...

According to the latest forecast released by Washington State University, stripe rust is forecasted in the low epidemic range for the eastern Pacific Northwest.  Low epidemic range, meaning a 1%-20% yield loss, is anticipated for the 2025 growing season, based on the predication models using the weather data from November 2024 to February 2025.  WSU’s m...

Based on the weather data of November and December, stripe rust in the upcoming wheat growing season is predicted to be in the range of severe epidemic level (40-60% yield loss on susceptible varieties).  Researchers at Washington State University said highly susceptible winter wheat varieties are predicted to have potential yield losses in the range of 27%-57% with an average of 41%.  The predict

Blame the weather for helping to spread striped rust in winter wheat fields in Washington State this year. In fact, this might be the most severe outbreak in many years.

According to the latest numbers from Washington State University, stripe rust is forecasted to be in the moderate epidemic level in the eastern Pacific Northwest, which means 20-40% yield loss in the 2023 growing season.  Those estimates come from predication models using the weather data from November 2022 to February 2023.   ...

The University of Idaho confirmed late last week the detection of stripe rust in the southern portion of the state.  The rust was found in breeding plots near Buhl.  The breeding line was reportedly significantly infected, but isolated, meaning the infections were not widespread in the field. UI sa...

Washington State University said stripe rust was discovered around the Mt. Vernon area earlier this month. The wheat stripe rust, discovered April 13th-14th, was up to 60% severity on susceptible varieties, while barley stripe rust was up to 40% severity in susceptible varieties ...

Researchers at Washington State University say they expect less stripe rust in 2021 compared to last year’s numbers. Professor Tim Murray says the university has one of the foremost experts on the topic in Dr. Xianming Chen who released his most recent forecast in late March. “He said tha ...
