General description |
A condition of under-oxygenation. Plants are greatly affected by cold air, wet, stormy weather and rain. They pick up when weather gets warmer. Capillary engorgement results in sap loss. Flowers are premature, photosynthesis defective. Chlorophyll deficiency, as in chlorosis, reduces the capacity to incorporate simple molecules into complex compounds such as starch. Chlorosis is the lack of pigment giving the leaves a pale green or yellow colour

Leaves |
The rust manifests itself as pustules full of dark, reddish brown powdery spores on stems and leaves (both sides), sheaths and heads. The spores fall off easily, the pustules are oval and elongated. Surrounding leaf or stem surfaces are usually ruptured. Towards the end of the season, as the plant matures, the pustules produce black spores. Wheat stem rust also affects barley, durum and triticale. The fungus survives on green hosts such as grasses. (3)

|
Flowers |
Rust also attacks heads , thus making flowering problematic, and fruit setting nigh impossible, resulting in total crop loss over a short period. (3)
