Ec95-1873 Cultural Practices That Influence Wheat Diseases, John E. Watkins, Robert N. Klein, Paul C. Hay, Lenis Alton Nelson

The health of a wheatcrop is determined well before the crop is planted. It is often the result of subtle factors in the management history of the field, including varieties, seed quality, seedbed, planting date, residue management and post harvest weed control. Wheat health management practices before the crop is planted must limit, as much as possible, the number of production hazards that must be dealt with after planting. Important diseases influenced by cultural practices include crown and root rot, wheat streak mosaic, soil-borne wheat mosaic, barley yellow dwarf, leaf rust, smut diseases, scab, Cephalosporium stripe and tan spot.

The symptoms, sources, spread and management of rust in dry edible beans is discussed in this NebGuide.
Rust is an important disease that affects dry beans in eastern Colorado, western Nebraska and adjacent regions. The disease is caused by the fungus Uromyces appendiculatus which has caused periodic epidemics in this region since the 1950s. Recent yield losses from the disease have exceeded 50 percent in some areas.
Ec95-1250 Forecasting Late Blight, Alexander D. Pavlista, Walter R. Stevenson
Ec95-1250 Forecasting Late Blight, Alexander D. Pavlista, Walter R. Stevenson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
A method for forecasting environmental conditions favorable to the development of late blight is described. How is weather data obtained from hygrothermographs and weather stations? How are the data used to calculate severity values? How is late blight forecasted and fungicide applications scheduling recommended? These questions will be answered here. The intended audience is potato growers; tomato growers would also benefit.

Life cycle, symptoms, and control measures of sclerotinia stem rot of soybeans is discussed.
Sclerotinia stem rot of soybeans is caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. This pathogen has an extremely wide host range and can affect more than 400 plant species, including oilseed, vegetable and forage legume crops. S. sclerotiorum has caused a disease known as white mold on dry edible beans in western Nebraska for 40 years, but it did not become a problem in soybeans until the 1990s. This fungal pathogen can be found on soybeans in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota. …
