Reports represent many county records.
Over the last month, wheat fields in central, north central, northwest, west central, southwest, and south central areas of the state have been surveyed for diseases. These early reports historically correlate well with disease losses in the spring. Very little disease was seen during surveillance this fall. Dry weather was the primary factor in limiting disease development. This fall's low levels of disease is in contrast to widespread disease in the fall of 1994 and major losses in the spring of 1995.
