All you need to know about barley stripe rust. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gqmXjgRd Grain Producers Australia #grainsfarmbiosecurity
What do you need to know about barley stripe rust? 🌾🌾 Barley stripe rust poses a significant threat to wheat and barley production globally. Although not present in Australia, our grains industry is going to great lengths to keep this damaging disease out. Barley stripe rust is a fungal disease that has impacted crop yield and grain quality across Europe, the UK, South America, Asia, Mexico and the US. Damage to barley plants varies depending on the plant growth stage. Crop losses are typically around 10%, but in susceptible varieties they may be up to 100% 😬 The disease is known to reduce plant and root growth, increase water loss and cut, resulting in fewer and lighter kernels. The estimated potential cost to the Australian barley industry of an uncontrolled epidemic of leaf or stem rust is more than $100 million. This figure provides a benchmark for the potential impact of barley stripe rust in Australia and highlights the importance of strong biosecurity. Early identification of symptoms, understanding the potential impacts on your crops, and implementing effective measures to help reduce the likelihood of it entering your property are key.
