Management Practices Pesticides
Leaf Rust is recognized by its characteristic red-orange pustules that erupt from the upper epidermis of leaves. These pustules are approximately the size of a pin head and filled with thousands of red-orange urediospores that are wind-borne and can infect additional leaves and wheat plants. The urediospores often form the core of rain drops and often initially infect and produce pustules where raindrops have collected at leaf axes and tips. Leaf rust develops extremely rapidly at temperatures of 60 degree to 80 degree F.
