SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. – Stripe rust has been identified in a winter wheat field in the northern Panhandle, according to Robert M. Harveson, Extension Plant Pathologist at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center at Scottsbluff.
“On Tuesday morning, April 18, wheat samples were brought into my lab by a field agent with symptoms consistent with stripe rust,” Harveson said. “Small yellowish pustules arranged in linear stripes parallel with the veins were observed on leaves in the lower part of the canopy of several plants.”
