OSU Extension Agent Black Stem rust is infecting several fields of Stephens wheat in south eastern Mor row County. This potentially serious wheat disease has not been a problem before in the Stephens variety. Stephens wheat is by far the most common variety grown in Oregon. Symptoms include leisions on the leaves, stems and heads that are filled with red or black spores. Diseased plants are weakened and produce shrivelled grain. The infesta tations have been found in areas of fields where the wheat is still partly green and not yet mature. OSU wheat breader Warren Kronstead reports that the disease has been found in the Stephens variety before but only in small quantities. It was Unitxzoal Realty Inc. ff J'.

Locally, however, black stem rust has been found in several fields over a large area of land. Kronstead says he hopes the disease can be blamed on the lateness of this year's crop, and adds that it probably won't be a problem in the regular growing season. The black stem rust fungus generally needs barberry bushes to complete its life cycle. We don't know yet if there are barberry bushes in the area. In a mild year, the disease may be able to survive without barberry. Kronstead says his wheat breeding program includes working to find a source of resistance in commercial wheat varieties. again and lost to Hospital, eliminating Blackhorse and putting the Hospital and Beechers against each other again for the second time that day in the 6 p.m. champion ship game.
