Overall, wheat is looking good and disease incidence is low. The Wheat Disease Identification Guide is an excellent resource for identifying wheat diseases and management options. https://webdoc.agsci.colostate.edu/wheat/linksfiles/MF2994.pdf. Drought conditions continue to increase across Colorado with 79% of the state abnormally dry, 62% in moderate drought, 46% in severe and 14% in extreme drought as of May 12. This does not account for rainfall over the last week so hopefully the moisture situation will continue to improve.
