Excessive nitrogen may increase losses from foliage diseases. Control grass weeds. Destroy volunteer wheat, quackgrass, and other weed grasses to reduce the amount of certain pathogens surviving in and around fields. Harvest promptly when grain moisture permits. Store grain at moisture levels no higher than 13 percent, thus preventing storage molds from growing.
Fungicides are available for control of many foliar wheat diseases.
Use of fungicides is dependent on susceptibility of the variety, level of disease in the field, the yield potential of the field and the price of grain.
