 Long-term white rust persistence in fields is not an issue with all crops or in all states; however, non-susceptible crop rotation in infected fields for at least three years is widely recommended to limit establishment and wider dispersal of this pathogen from plant debris, soil, and perennial root material.This pathogen can eliminate viable production of susceptible crops in specific fields indefinitely if infection is widespread over many years.White rust can be a devastating disease on many important agricultural crops throughout the world.
