Integrated Pest Management Options

Carefully manage your soil fertility. Neutral to alkaline and infertile soils are most at risk. Do not apply lime before planting. Soils deficiend in potassium and phosphorus cause plants to be more susceptible because of poor root development. Nitrate nitrogen increases disease severity. Control grasses and avoid early planting. Use a 3-yr crop rotation and avoid planting wheat after wheat.

Seed Treatment

Comments
Supression only. Must be diluted with water prior to treatment of seed to ensure uniform coverage. Treated seed will sometimes emerge more slowly than untreated. Avoid late seeding of winter cereals. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 40 days after planting.

Comments
Suppression only. For both commercial seed treatment plants and on-farm treatment using standard gravity flow- or mist-type seed treatment equipment. May also be used in treat-on-the-go seeder. Do not graze, feed green forage or cut for hay within 55 days of planting.
