 **Cereal Rust Survey Listserv List** TheCereal-Rust-Survey listserv list- this list is for the exchange of timely observations from cooperators and CDL staff on the current cereal rust situation throughout the U.S.  Additionally, members will receive messages with links to each Cereal Rust Bulletin as they become available. We would encourage anyone who has information on the cereal rust situation in the U.S. or an interest in this type of information, to subscribe to the Listserv list for the latest information available. **Rust Updates** For the latest reports on the current cereal rust situation in the U.S., please visit our Cereal Rust Situation Reports page. **Cereal Rust Bulletins** The Cereal Disease Lab (CDL) publishes theCereal Rust Bulletinsbiweekly from April through early August. **Germplasm Evaluation** Germplasm evaluations performed by the CDL staff are available on this site. For agronomic and disease observations visit the Hard Winter Wheat Regional Nursery Program (NRPN, RGON and SRPN) website  Guides for Identifying Rust Diseases of Wheat and Barley and Identification and managment of stem rust Rust identification guide developed by by the multi-state extension and research committees for small grain diseases, NCERA-184 & WERA-97.  (en espanol, en francais) Guide for identification and management of stem rust on wheat and barley developed by by the multi-state extension and research committees for small grain diseases, NCERA-184 & WERA-97. **Rust Sampling and Reporting** Please review the rust sampling and reporting guide recommendations for making cereal rust collections and reporting observations. Use the following table to determine where to send your cereal rust samples for race identification. **Samples**
**Send to:**Stem rusts (including aecia on barberry)

   **Rust Collection Forms** We encourage cooperators to include our newly created rust collection form (standard pdf or fillable pdf) with each rust sample sent to the Cereal Disease Laboratory.  We will no longer provide the card stock type collection forms used in the past. **Rust race analysis training videos** Matt Rouse describes how-to collect rust, isolate a single pustule of rust, increase rust, properly store spores, inoculate differentials, phenotype reactions, and race nomenclature as practiced by the Cereal Disease Laboratory in Saint Paul, Minnesota. **Supplies** Cooperators often ask us where we obtain some of our more unusual supplies. Thissupplies list may be of help.
