    Yellow rust, also known as stripe rust, is a fungal disease that affects wheat crops. It survives on volunteer wheat plants during the off-season and produces yellow pustules on leaves that turn black as the season advances. The disease is most severe in late February or early March, causing leaves to dry up and grain to shrivel, resulting in low yields. Cloudy weather and high humidity in February and March provide favorable conditions for yellow rust, which can damage wheat crops by 20-40%. Recommendations to control the disease include using resistant varieties, timely sowing, seed treatment, and fungicide sprays if rust appears.
