The present study clearly emphasizes that resistant or slow rusting
varieties should be cultivated under farmers field conditions, to
avoid the yield losses of stripe and leaf rusts in wheat
varieties/lines.All the environmental conditions significantly
influenced leaf rust than the stripe rust. A significant
correlation was observed between leaf rust and maximum and minimum
temperature, rainfall and sun shine radiations. However, non
significant correlation were found between stripe rust and the
environmental conditions. When maximum and minimum temperature
increased the leaf rust severity also increased. Similarly the
sunshine radiations and rainfall influenced positive effect on the
leaf rust. Leaf rust infection on different varieties/lines
increased with an increase in sunshine radiations and rainfall.
