Prevention
Therapy or Curative Action
How would you apply the principles of disease management to manage stem rust of wheat
Prevention: Apply a fungicide before planting
Therapy: More scouting and digging up plants to check stems

Diseases found in South Dakota
Stripe Rust
Sugarbeet
Cercospora Leaf Spot
Weather Conditions
3 Favorite Conditions
- Temperature
- Rain
- Humidity
Sugarbeet
Cercospora Leaf Spot
Caused by fungus Cercospora beticola
Sugarbeet
Cercospora Leaf Spot
Fungicide Resistance
Spray as soon as first symtoms are observed
Symptoms observed close to waterways, shelterbelts, last year sugar beets and corn fields
Apply effective fungicide mixures in a timely matter
Sugarbeet
How many applications do growers budget for?
3 Applications
Potato/Early Blight
Affects of the Disease
Affects leaves, stems and tubers
Dependt on the the frequency of wetness (rain, dew or irrigation) crop nutritional status, cultivar susceptibility
Potato/Early Blight
Recommendations
Fungicides be tank-mixed and alternated with chemistries of different mode of actions
Fungicides with the same mode of action should not be applied in consecutive applications
Selecting later-maturing cultivars, which are less susceptible to early blight, can reduce the number of fungicide applications
Sunflower Rust
Caused by
Red Rust
Caused by Puccinia helianthi
Changes in color of spores observed during different stages of fungal life cycle and disease development
Sunflower Rust
Ideal Conditions
Infection favored by suceptible cultivars, temperatures <90F, high humidity and leaf moisture
Proximity to wild, volunteer or sunflower residue that has or had rust
Sunflower Rust
Crop Rotation
Most hybrids are susceptible
Crop rotation is limited, long distance dispersal of spores, volunteer hosts
What causes Strip Rust of Wheat
Fungal Pathogen
Hazelnut/Eastern Filbert Blight
Fungus Cycle
Fungus has life cycle of 2 or more years
12 to 15 month latent period when symptoms are not visible
Hazelnut/Eastern Filbert Blight
Fungicides
Fungicides belonging to 5 FRAC groups
FRAC 3
FRAC 7
FRAC 11
M1 (Copper-based)
M5 (Chlorothalonil)
M1 and M5 → multisite fungicides
