Plant Pathologist Commentary: 07/22/2010

Harvest has started in earnest as the first reports of spring wheat harvest in southern parts of the state and the winter wheat harvest in the northwestern part of the state are trickling in. This is ramping up to be an unusually early harvest and a stark contrast to last year's struggles. Initial comments point to a wheat and barley crop with acceptable yield and quality.

As harvest gets underway, disease problems for this growing season are also nearing an end. Take note that volunteer wheat should be destroyed two weeks prior to planting any winter wheat to eliminate the green bridge that potentially can create problems for a number of important disease and pest problems, including BYDV and WSMV.

Have a safe and plentiful harvest!

Important Note: Please review Terms of Use before utilizing this site. The leaf disease models available on this website are courtesy of NDSU. Infection happens when an infectious pathogen contacts a susceptible plant in a suitable environment. To find out if the previous day contained an infection period, the models use hourly high-resolution weather data provided by Meridian Environmental Technology. The leaf disease forecaster is intended to be used in steps, which are described here, that work together to maximize your potential economic return by protecting the health of the top two leaves. It is important to note that in order for the forecasting model to work as intended, the disease-causing agent must be present, which requires field scouting as described here.
