Wheat Disease Update
Bob Hunger, Extension Wheat Pathologist
Diseases are still quiet across Oklahoma. Gary Strickland (Extension Educator – southwest Oklahoma) indicated he has “seen one leaf rut pustule.” Also, wheat just has not grown in his area and is just starting to get to the point of tillering but there is so little growth he doesn’t feel there is sufficient growth to support much tillering. He did indicate he has seen and has a lot of reports of brown wheat mites.
Around Stillwater, the wheat soilborne/spindle streak mosaic is the only disease of prominence. Differences between resistant and susceptible wheat breeder lines in my soilborne-spindle streak nursery are quite striking this year (below - note difference between resistant and susceptible lines.).
