Leaf Blotch = Fungal disease spread by rain Powdery mildew = Fungal disease that turns the underside of leaves yellow Leaf rust = Fungal disease that causes premature death of leaves Barely dwarf virus BYDV = Viral disease transmitted by aphids

Leatherjackets = Crane fly larvae that feed on the crop reducing yield Wireworms = Click beetle larvae that hatch and feed on crops Aphids = Insects that attack wheat crops Thrips = Insects that feed on wheat leaves
