• As weather is becoming congenial for occurrence of yellow rust in wheat, farmers are advised to monitor regularly the wheat crop to detect initial foci of yellow rust. Only spot application surrounding the infected area should be done with Caviet @ 200g or Nativo @ 120g or Custodia or Opera or Tilt or Shine or Bumper or Stilt or Compass or Markzole @ 200 ml in 200 litres of water per acre.
