ICAR-IIWBR Warns Farmers Against Rust Diseases in Wheat Crop

11 March 2025, New Delhi: Wheat farmers should conduct frequent field visits to detect early signs of stripe rust (yellow rust), brown rust, and black rust, according to the latest advisory by the ICAR-Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research (IIWBR), Karnal.

If rust symptoms are confirmed, farmers should spray Propiconazole 25EC (1 ml per liter of water), ensuring 200 ml of fungicide is mixed in 200 liters of water per acre. The spray should only be applied under clear weather conditions—avoiding rainy, foggy, or dewy periods—to maximize effectiveness.

Early detection and timely intervention can prevent the rapid spread of rust diseases and safeguard wheat yields.
