Summary

​Wheat streak mosaic virus is an important virus of cereals in the northern Great Plains. Many aspects of the environment, weather, and climate uniquely affect the epidemiology of this virus complex in this region compared with the southern Great Plains. In this webcast, we discuss those unique features and research on the disease complex performed in Montana, as well introduce an educational tool being developed to assist growers in assessing their risk of wheat streak.
