The stripe rust epidemic of 2011: why? and what next? Dr. Mary Burrows Montana State University Bozeman, MT
2
Why was stripe rust so bad this year? 1.Widespread fall infection 2.Extended fall 3.Deep, lengthy snow cover 4.Favorable spring temperatures 5.Flooding created wet, humid conditions throughout the year 6.Even after day temps became hot, night temps were favorable for infection (50-70F) 7.A widely planted, susceptible variety (Genou) 8.New strains 9.April: alerts from Xianming Chen that stripe rust was off to an ‘early start’ in WA

Why didn’t the epidemic stop when it got hot? Stripe rust disease progress is tied to night time temperatures Great Falls 1 May to 30 July 50 to 70°F

Seedling infection vs. adults Seedling infections are often not in ‘stripes’ –Yellow rust Seedling infections tend to be strain – specific (single genes) – easily overcome by the pathogen Adult resistance is non-race specific, more durable Seedling and adult plant responses can be different HTAP resistance: High Temperature, Adult Plant resistance – doesn’t kick in until after stem elongation (Feekes 4-9; Zadocks 30-39) and average night temperatures remain above 50 and day temps are between 77 and 86 F

‘Rescue’ spraying? Remember your PHI! Hunger and Jackson. Foliar fungicides and wheat production in Oklahoma. http://lubbock.tamu.edu/wheat/pdfs/osufoliarfunghandout04.pdf
35
Economic impact? Montana growers spent ~$15 mil. on fungicide Fungicides saved growers ~$30 mil. Yield losses cost growers ~$48 mil. Not spraying resistant varieties saved ~$12 million Source: estimates from a grower survey, October 2011 (Burrows)
36
What does ‘strain’ mean when talking about stripe rust? Stripe rust is characterized by the pathogenic reaction on a series of wheat lines called ‘differentials’ Virulence patterns have changed Stem rust differentials
37
New strains are more aggressive Moon and Milus, 2011 “Even though there was more initial inoculum of isolate AR90-01 [‘old,’ PST- 3], isolate AR03-33 [‘new,’ PST-78] caused significantly more disease around the transplants in the spring at both Fayetteville and Kibler”
38
New strains infect plants at higher temperatures Milus, E. A., Seyran, E., and McNew, R. 2006. Aggressiveness of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici isolates in the south-central United States. Plant Dis. 90:847-852. At 54°F, old and new isolates had similar latent periods and spore germination percentages. However, at 64ºF, new isolates averaged 2 days less for latent period and double the spore germination compared with old isolates. Therefore, the new isolates are better adapted and, thus, more aggressive at warmer temperatures than the old isolates.
39
A number of new strains were characterized after a severe epidemic in 2000 Chen, X. M., Moore, M., Milus, E. A., Long, D. L., Line, R. F., Marshall, D., and Jackson, L. 2002. Wheat stripe rust epidemics and races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici in the United States in 2000. Plant Dis. 86:39-46.

2011 Stripe rust strains (PSTv-#) Data updated 9 Dec, 2011 11 11,14 14 14,37 37 17
45
So what do those numbers mean?

46
What’s next? PSTv-4 and PSTv-17 are virulent against differential line Sp (“Spalding Prolific, Yr-SP) YrSP virulence is in low frequency worldwide Last year Yr-SP virulent races were detected in low frequency and in 2011 increased significantly PSTv-4 is currently in Washington, Oregon, Utah and Idaho (not MT); PSTv-17 is in MT Bottom line: races are changing very fast; variety reactions will change, also: Scout crops, recognize the reaction types and manage appropriately

48
So, what about next year? Dry fall! Hot spots due to prevented planting; WW seeded very early Plant a resistant variety Use a seed treatment Fall fungicide is generally not economical Plan on a full rate of fungicide when spraying weeds at tillering (blends preferred) on susceptible varieties if the weather is favorable for disease development Although stripe rust got all the glory, a lot of yield losses were due to root and crown rots Community disease
49
Diagnostic lab: routine functions and agricultural biosecurity Process approximately 2000 samples/yr (~80% homeowner/horticulture) Free to you 100% grant funded staff, supplies, travel –Space and utilities provided by MSU Sample submission is important Good sample = good answer

52
Which seed treatment to use? Very little data, and results showing yield benefit may not be solely due to stripe rust control Whether any products will prevent overwintering is unknown Within-field overwinter inoculum may be lower, but this is still an airborne disease Plant disease management reports: www.planthealthmanagement.org – search for Xianming Chen and stripe rust (PDMR 1: ST005; 1: ST006; 1: ST007) www.planthealthmanagement.org
