Transcript of Wheat pest calendar Mary Burrows, David Weaver, Fabian Menalled.
Objective• To develop a wheat pest calendar to assist
producers, county agents, and crop consultants to identify and manage common wheat disease, insect, and weed pests.
Results• 2000 copies printed• Lots of positive feedback• PDF is available on Extn Plant Path
website http://www.msuextension.org/plantpath/
• Next year: Pulse pest calendar funded by NPGA
• Any future interest in barley calendar, or other crop or theme?
Wheat virus variety trials and on-farm fungicide
demonstration trials
Mary Burrows, Luther Talbert, Tom Blake, Alan Dyer, Phil Bruckner, Dan Picard, Joe Broesder, Jesse
Fulbright, Gregg Carlson
Objectives • 1. Evaluate widely planted winter wheat, spring wheat
and barley varieties in Montana for susceptibility to Wheat streak mosaic virus and Triticum mosaic virus
• 2. Evaluate early-season fungicides in wheat in on-farm demonstration trials.
• 3. Disseminate the results of these studies to growers in Montana and throughout the Great Plains region.

Dissemination of this information• Grant term:
– Presentations: four in-state presentations (420 attendees); in June I was invited to Rapid City, SD to speak to the NCERA-184 Cereal Pathology group about wheat viruses.
– Appearances on Montana Ag Live: three appearances (approximately 20,000 viewers per appearance)
– AgAlerts: four agalerts related to viruses and fungicide use in cereals with 406 viewers.
– Publications:• M. Burrows, D. Weaver and M. Menalled. 2011. Common Montana Wheat Pests.
Calendar.• Burrows, M., M. Moffet, P. Bruckner, J. Berg, M. Johnston. Evaluation of
fungicides for control of stem rust in Montana, 2010. Plant Disease Management Reports 4: CF037. (Funded by MWBC, 2009)
• K. McVay, M. Burrows, F. Menalled, K. Wanner. 2010. Montana wheat production guide. MSU Extension Publications EB0197.
• Upcoming: lots more!
Plans for next year• Continue WSMV variety trials• On-farm demonstration trials for foliar fungicides on
dryland winter wheat– Tillering stage applications– 4 counties (Pondera, Toole, Liberty, Hill), – 2 research stations (Conrad, Havre)– Fall applications at research stations: relationship
to winterkill?– Spring applications all sites: ‘plant health benefit’
in absence of disease pressure• Any other ideas?
