Over 77 °F (25 °C), the growth rate of the fungus decreases significantly, and it ceases at 85 °F (29 °C). 8 Turf grass that is poor in nutrition and are slow growing are areas that are more susceptible to red thread disease. 2 The fungus grows from the thread like red webbing structures called sclerotia. 1 The sclerotia can survive in leaf ...
Rust lesions can cause leaves or stems to become weak and break or fall off, resulting in decreased photosynthetic ability and extreme difficulty during harvest. Symptoms on the alternate host grasses are small ovular red/brown (rust colored) powdery lesions, which release uredospores .
Rust fungi grow intracellularly, and make spore-producing fruiting bodies within or, more often, on the surfaces of affected plant parts. [3] Some rust species form perennial systemic infections that may cause plant deformities such as growth retardation, witch's broom, stem canker, galls, or hypertrophy of affected plant parts.

P. sorghi has two hosts making it a heteroecious rust. Maize and Oxalis are the two hosts for P. sorghi. In comparison, the other common type of maize rust is southern corn rust (Puccinia polysora) and it has a higher variety of hosts including maize, silver plumegrass, eastern gamagrass, Tripsacum lanceolatum, T. laxum, and T. pilorum.

There are aftermarket electronic "rustproofing" technologies claimed to prevent corrosion by "pushing" electrons into the car body, to limit the combination of oxygen and iron to form rust. The loss of electrons in paint is also claimed to be the cause of “paint oxidisation” and the electronic system is also supposed to protect the paint. [ 4 ]

A visual inspection of both galvanized and non-galvanized test panels showed a significant reduction in the appearance of rust compared to the control panels (not connected to the protection module), consistent with the observed cathodic shift in the electrochemical potential measurements obtained on the panels during the tests.
