Study on the measures for the spread and control of yellow rust and powdery mildew on wheat plants

Abstract

Wheat is considered one of the most cultivated agricultural plants in the world to meet the food needs of the world’s population. The increase in the world’s population from year to year requires farmers to obtain a high and high-quality wheat harvest. In all countries where wheat is grown, most of the crop is lost due to fungal diseases, especially yellow rust and powdery mildew. For this reason, many phytopathologists conduct scientific research on the in-depth study of these wheat diseases and the development of effective measures to combat them. The article examines the spread and development of yellow rust and powdery mildew diseases in wheat fields grown in Tashkent and Syrdarya regions of the Republic, and the effectiveness of modern fungicides against them. Recommendations were also given on the constant monitoring of the phytosanitary condition of grain fields during the growing season and on the use of rapid plant protection measures when there is a risk of severe spread and development of the disease.
