Strategic management of persistent Rust damage

• Diligent monitoring of rust and immediate grazing or cutting once developed

Efficient Grazing Management of infectious Oat Leaf Diseases

• Leaf or Crown Rust: Grazing at first development to reduce infectious spores from leaves
• Stem Rust: While no varieties are completely rust resilient, graze at first sign of rust to prevent spore re-infecting crops
• Red Tipping: Likely indication of nutritional deficiency of nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium or zinc
