Stripe rust often occurs as conspicuous centers of infection-"hotspots"-in early-seeded fields of young wheat in late fall in the Pacific Northwest. the significance of fall infection was established by comparing the growth and yield of plants growing within 24 such centers in eastern Washington with plants growing immediately outside. hotspot plants produced from 18.6 to 24.0% fewer tillers, from 19,6 to 25.4% less straw, and from 18.3 to 30.8% les kernels than their "healthy" counterparts.
