This week's opponent.... sunflower rust 🌻

🏈Scouting report: Sunflower rust is a tough opponent. It can strike throughout the season, spread quickly and doesn’t need rain — dew and fog can be enough.

🏈Game plan: Scout fields, use resistant varieties and apply fungicides when needed. When rust reaches the upper leaves by R5, a well-timed fungicide can help prevent yield loss.

🏈Study the tape in issue #19 of the Crop and Pest Report https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/ag-hub/ag-topics/crop-production/crop-pest-report
