Southern rust spreads more quickly and has a higher economic impact when hot, humid weather conditions persist. Timely fungicide applications to control southern rust are more crucial than with common rust. [26] A variety of preventative methods can be employed for rust diseases: High moisture levels may exacerbate rust disease symptoms.
Spores can be spread by wind to other plants. An important factor in development of rust epidemics is the infection of volunteer faba bean plants. [2] The disease cycle is as follows: the overwintering diploid teliospores germinate in the spring with metabasidium forming four haploid basidiospores of two mating types, types
Controlling white rust is very difficult due to the nature of the Albugo pathogen. The method of control is tailored to specific crops and production systems. This is why identification of specific hosts (crops and possible weeds) is necessary to determine range and location of control methods.
Austropuccinia is a monotypic genus of rust (a type of plant pathogen) native to South America with the only species Austropuccinia psidii, commonly known as myrtle rust, guava rust, or ʻōhiʻa rust. It affects plants in the family Myrtaceae. It is a member of the fungal complex called the guava rust (Puccinia psidii) group. [3]
In the 1950s zineb and mancozeb were developed as the primary means to control rust. Zineb reduced infection by 85% and mancozeb by 97% . [38] [39] By 1989 EBDC fungicides had become the most common fungicidal means to control rust on asparagus. However, after the EPA almost cancelled the use of EBDCs on asparagus many processors decided they ...
[18] [19] When weather and disease infection conditions are favorable, the occurrence of ASR can be widespread. Thus, remedial control measures—using fungicides as protective sprays—are the main effective disease control method. [15] [18] [19] Soybean rust must be managed as early in the growing season as possible to be managed successfully ...
This is supported by findings that vigorous growth in young plants reduces the severity of an infection. [1] Spraying with copper-based fungicides up to three times throughout the summer, especially as the alga sporulates, can control the disease. Pruning infected branches can also help plants recover. [7]
Genetic control consists of planting rust-resistant hybrid varieties. [ 8 ] Chemical management can be applied using fungicides on both oilseed and confection type sunflowers and is most effective during the (R5) flowering stage or when the disease severity reaches 1% on the upper four, fully expanded leaves.
