The detection of red star rust (Gymnosporangium yamadae) in Minnesota in 2022 revealed many gaps in information about how to manage this novel disease.
In response, the MDA Plant Protection Division and the University of Minnesota (UMN) Departments of Horticulture and Plant Pathology received funding and began work on a Specialty Crop Block Grant titled Identifying Best Management Practices for Red Star Rust, Invasive Pathogen of Apple & Nursery Crops.
The goals of this project are to test commonly grown Minnesota apple and crabapple cultivars for resistance or susceptibility to red star rust, identify fungicides that can protect junipers from infection, and monitor for spores to refine spray recommendations for Minnesota’s climate.
All management information will be shared with nurseries, landscape professionals, and apple growers. Research is being conducted at the UMN Horticulture Research Station.
