Best and Easy Approaches to avoid Rust and its Control:

  • Avoid cultivation of atleast 3 to 4 years old/ banned/ unapproved wheat varieties which have become susceptible to rusts. This method has also proven itself to be quite effective.
  • Cultivate newly approved /rust resistant varieties as recommended by Agriculture department and institutes.
  • Popularize fungicide seed treatment but avoid large scale application or overuse of foliar fungicides/ rusticides against fungal diseases.
  • Moreover, Scouting of wheat fields to keep an eye on disease attack  helps to monitor the onset of rusts and timely application  of fungicides. If you have a diseased sample, work with experts to confirm disease diagnosis.

Adopt better Cultural Practices to avoid Rust attack:

  • early planting with use of clean, healthy & treated seed.
  • less planting density (use of less seed rate)
  • planting of more than one varieties
  • weed management throughout the season helps to control diseases

Chemical Control for Rust:

  • 1st priority should be the use of resistant varieties and  chemical control should be considered as the secondary option.
  • Fungicides are recommended only in case of emergency or  danger of disease epidemics.
  • Spray fungicides only on patches.
  • Too early or too late application of fungicides are not recommended.

Best currently for Seed Treatment on Wheat seed (Any of these may be used):

  • Difenconazole @ 1ml/kg seed,
  • Thiophanate  Methyle @2g/kg seed
  • Imida cloprid + tebuconazole @ 4ml/kg seed

Best currently for Foliar Applications on Wheat (Any of these may be used):

Propiconazole (Tilt. Syngenta)200 ml/acre
