Rust in Wheat



I was looking at a wheat field today and was surprised how yellow it was.  Looking closer I found lots of rust on the older leaves.


As you can see in the picture the rust is quite prevelant and damaging.  There is really nothing to do now but keep watch. I saw that the new growth is good and not infected. The warm weather is helping tremendously now. We won't think about spraying until flag leaf. For now we monitor.
