V' '\js .A \ -V ftro An M Powdery mildew NEWARK, Del. - Jniversity of Delaware ;xtension plant jathologist Bob Vlulrooney warns farmers that powdery mildew has been developing rapidly on wheat during recent weeks. In wheat variety trials located in Middletown, Woodside and Georgetown, Del., he has observed high levels of infection on the varieties Severn, Hart and Adena. He found moderate levels on Wheeler, Potomac, Pike, Hunter, Blazer, and Abe. The next lowest level of infestation was on Tyler, Titan, Saluda, Pioneer 2550, Magnum, McNair 1003, Coker 916, Coker 762, Coker 747 and Arthur. Feland had high levels at Georgetown and Woodside, but low ratings at Middletown. Farmers should check this variety if they are growing it. No infection was present on Massey. Mulrooney en courages growers to examine fields regularly for powdery mildrew. Consider the following factors when making a spray decision: level of in fection, level of plant resistance, yield potential, stage of crop development and weather conditions. “Remember,” he says, “fungicides won’t in crease yields but they will protect existing yields.” The plant pathologist recommends applying fungicides between the second joint stage and boot stage when the following conditions exist: • Powdery mildew covers 5 to 10 percent of the upper two leaves, • A susceptible variety is grown, • Yield potential 'is high (60 to 70 BU/A), • Favorable weather
