  Disease Update
  
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  All CropMonitor crops have now reached GS 37, and AICC members around
  the country are reporting that ears are emerging on forward crops.  
  Flag-leaf sprays should be applied when the flag leaf has fully emerged
  on main shoots.
    
  Yellow Rust
  Regional reports indicate that yellow rust is present in the East, 
  particularly in crops of Robigus where treatment was delayed. The
  untreated CropMonitor Robigus crops are also showing signs of yellow
  rust.  At Terrington, yellow rust is starting to take hold, and at
  Boxworth, is increasing on all leaves including eventual leaf 2.
    
  Brown Rust
  Regional reports indicate that Brown rust is almost absent in treated
  crops. In the untreated Crop Monitor crops, Brown rust is present on
  eventual leaf 4 of Robigus at Boxworth, and the odd spot is also 
  appearing in Solstice and Einstein at Terrington.
  
  Septoria
  Using weather data from 1 April to 15 May, the CropMonitor risk
  prediction for Septoria tritici has now been updated.
