Stripe rust has been found in Johnston County. It was found yesterday in a field of DG Shirley in Four Oaks. A stripe rust epidemic can develop much quicker than a leaf rust epidemic. If scouting reveals stripe rust in your field a fungicide should be applied as soon as possible to preserve yield. Wheat varieties rated susceptible (S) and moderately susceptible (MS) should be scouted immediately.
