Abstract

Stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici), a destructive disease of wheat, can be controlled by planting resistant cultivars and/or applying fungicides. This study was conducted in a field near Pullman, WA in 2025 to determine yield losses by stripe rust and yield protection by fungicide applications on 23 commercially grown winter wheat cultivars, plus a susceptible check (PS279). The fungicide applications significantly reduced stripe rust, increased grain test weight, and increased yield in PS279 and some commercial cultivars. The results are useful for growers to determine if fungicide application is needed based on their planted cultivars.
