Symptoms: What does Kutu ya Shina la Ngano look like?

Visual identification guide — tap each stage for details

Early reddish-brown flecks of stem rust on wheat stem — Initial reddish-brown flecks appearing on stem surface

Brick-red urediniospore pustules on wheat stem from stem rust — Raised brick-red pustules rupturing through stem epidermis, releasing spores

Black telia stage of wheat stem rust with lodged stems — Late-season black telia and stem weakening leading to lodging

Hatua ya Mapema

Small reddish-brown flecks on stems
Pustule ndogo za kahawia-nyekundu (uredinia) huonekana kwenye mashina na upande wowote wa majani. Pustule zinajisikia kama karatasi ya mchanga ukipapasa.

Hatua ya Kati

Raised pustules rupturing through epidermis
Pustule hupanuka na kuungana, na kuunda maeneo makubwa ya vumbi la kahawia-nyekundu (urediniospores) kwenye mashina. Epidermisi iliyochanika inaonekana wazi kuzunguka pustule.

Hatua ya Mwisho

Black telia and stem breakage
Mashina yanaweza kudhoofika na kuvunjika. Mimea iliyoambukizwa sana huonyesha kunyauka, nafaka kunywea, na hasara kubwa ya mavuno. Pustule nyeusi (teliospores) huonekana msimu unapokaribia mwisho.

Panda mapema ili kuvuna kabla ya shinikizo la kutu kufikia kilele katika msimu wa joto.
Haribu mimea ya ngano inayojiotea ambayo inaweza kuhifadhi kutu kati ya misimu.

Chemical Treatment Steps

4 steps

Piga dawa ya tebuconazole (Folicur) kwa ml 1/lita 1 wakati pustule za kwanza zinapoonekana.
Kwa maambukizi makubwa, tumia propiconazole + trifloxystrobin (Stratego) kwa kiwango kilichopendekezwa.
Hakikisha kufunika vizuri mashina — pustule za kutu ya shina huwa mashimani, kwa hiyo nyunyizio lazima ifikie sehemu za chini za mmea.
Dawa ya pili inaweza kuhitajika siku 14-21 baadaye ikiwa hali ya ugonjwa inaendelea.

Je, kutu ya shina inaweza kuenea umbali gani?

Urediniospores za kutu ya shina zinaweza kusafiri mamia hadi maelfu ya kilomita kwa upepo wa juu katika anga. Hivi ndivyo Ug99 ilivyoenea kutoka Afrika ya Mashariki hadi Yemen na Iran ndani ya muongo mmoja.
