Abstract
Description
The focus of this article is what criteria are necessary before the application of fungicides is justifiable. 'Leaf Rust' is incited by weather conditions that affect susceptible plants. This can reduce wheat crop yields. Fungicides can be used to control the disease when crop resistance is not available. A proposal on the criteria for application of fungicide is presented in this article in flowchart format. The projected increase in yield due to spraying should cover the cost of the fungicides.
