FARIDKOT:

Yellow rust, a fungal disease, causes the crop's leaves to turn yellow, halting photosynthesis and resulting in a significant drop in yield.

Karanjit Singh Gill, chief agriculture officer of Moga, along with his team, recently visited several villages in the Dharamkot sub-division in the district to inspect wheat crops sown without burning paddy stubble.

During their visit, the team informed farmers about the yellow rust disease and its impact on wheat crops.
