Thanks Chunkypigs, fantastic info.
That looks identical to the pathogen I’m dealing with here. I believe l introduced rust to my spot through a cover crop which included rye corn, barley and wheat. I let it go to seed because instead of digging it in in the spring l thought I’d collect the seed and grow it on.......massive mistake. I’ve gone through the whole grasping at straws with the identification process and have even taken samples into a lab to get it identified but the results came back that it was nothing out of the ordinary....whatever that means. I have however come to the conclusion that I’m dealing with a rust and you’re the first person I’ve come across that has stated your dealing with a rust problem.
I’ve tried a myriad of different treatments and combinations of treatments but the only thing l have been able to effectively combat it with is certain plants that are resistant. I’m also about to tank mix and spray the whole patch down with a trichoderma which, after speaking with Microbeman, is an effective solution against leaf spot disease over time.
Have you, or anyone else, found any plausible solutions for the particular fungal issue you get there???
Cheers,
