Watch and be prepared to act on cereal rust - Grains Research & Development Corporation

It is recommended WA growers and advisers closely monitor advanced cereal volunteers and emerging cereal crops for the presence of leaf rusts ( Puccinia triticina and Puccinia hordei ) this season - along with other rust diseases, viruses and pests. This work has included extensive testing of cereal lines with new rust strains to ensure industry-wide preparedness to the emergence of new rust threats. This ensures that plant breeders are provided with new sources of leaf rust resistance to breed into new Australian wheat varieties.
