Yellow Rust is very active in the untreated variety trial site run by Nickerson at Silverton near Exeter.
For those who thought this was not a disease of concern in the south west, please be aware this is no longer the case. On the back of growing susceptable varieties in this area, the disease has migrated southwards into the region and growers must appreciate that all untreated areas (those around field corners, hedgerows, pylons, electricity poles etc) will be hot spots for the disease to flourish in and spread from making the risk greater in future.
Full details can be seen at the Farmers Weekly Rust Watch page.
