Black stem rust showing
up in Stephens wheat
By BOB COSTA
Morrow Co.
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

tournament. At 10 a.m. the
winning teams from 'Saturday
night played with Beechers
shutting out Hospital in Lex

over Cals in lone.
The next games were played
at noon with Cals beating the

rolled over V & G Tavern in
Lexington, knocking V 4 G out

found in his Pendleton nursery
during the last two years, and
three years ago it was noted in
an area six ft. in diameter in
a farmer's field near Rufus.
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.
