Wheat Disease – Powdery Mildew

We are seeing some powdery mildew in wheat that concerns us.  We can stand some of this disease but it can be a problem especially on susceptible varieties and resistance in varieties can be lost over time.  It’s fairly rare to have to spray a fungicide but some cases warrant it.

Here’s a link to the UGA Plant Disease library for more information concerning this disease.
