23 With single fungicide applications no significant differences in: Timing of application Rate of fungicide Fungicide material Significant additional increased yields with sequential applications of fungicides under high levels of stripe rust

25 2012 Stripe Rust Trial April 9 th fungicide treatment at Feeks 10.1 Little rust until April 23 rd (typical) May 7 th, less than 30 DAT, leaves were turning brown from moisture stress from a year with little mid-winter rain & no irrigation Treatment # reps Yield (lb/a) Statistics Untreated Control X Priaxor - 4 oz XX Twinline - 9 oz XX Headline - 6 oz X

26 When Not to Spray: 1) Varietal resistance holds Wheat Stripe Rust

31 Factors influencing fungicide application profitability: Year Wet vs. Dry High vs. Low disease incidence Early vs. Late plantings Wheat Variety Level of resistance compared to the current stripe rust strains Price of Wheat Higher priced wheat returns more $ for fungicide increases Fungicide Timing of application, rate & cost

32 Overall average results of 17 trials over 7 years, when stripe rust is treated as disease starts with a single application. 136 % of control grain yields = 1410 lbs/acre grain yield increase & a 4 lb/bushel increase
