Global Wheat Rust Monitoring Website
August 3, 2012| |
CIMMYT and partners on the Durable Rust Resistance in Wheat (DRRW) project have developed a new Global Wheat Rust Monitoring website. Called RuskTracker,org, the information resource provides current information on the status of wheat rust diseases worldwide. It currently focuses on stem rust and the "Ug99" race group but future content will include stripe and leaf rust. The system is linked to the Wheat Rust Toolbox developed by collaborators at Aarhus University.
