Description

The wheat curl mite vectors three viruses to winter wheat throughout the Great Plains. This serious virus complex includes wheat streak mosaic, Triticum mosaic, and High Plains wheat mosaic viruses. Management of this virus complex must include the control over-summering hosts of this mite during the green bridge period between wheat harvest and emergence of the new crop wheat in the fall.
