- Rust Issues: Yellow rust is the current major concern, but historically stem rust has caused major epidemics
- Ug99 Status: No Ug99 races have been detected in Australia
Rust surveillance and monitoring activities in Australia are coordinated by the Australian Cereal Rust Control Program (ACRCP) based at the Plant Breeding Institute (PBI), University of Sydney. Full details of all the rust activities are given on the PBI, University of Sydney website. A benchmark set of Cereal Rust Reports are produced by the ACRCP annually, the latest of which are copied below:
