[edit] Spread of Ug99
I disagree that Ug99 spread to Asia and most recently to the Middle East. I think it is the other way round, having reached Yemen, for example, before Iran. Is there some citation to support the timeline in the article?JeremyCherfas (talk) 15:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
some discussion of what percentage of our wheat crop is lost every year due to rust would be a good addition. i recall that it is a LARGE percent.Wikiskimmer 16:36, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
The link to Schuman, G L ... seems broken.
[edit] Merger Proposal
I feel that since Ug99 is a stub at the moment there is very little reason for it to have its own article, and as it is just one race of this pathogen it should have a segment in this article. Million_Moments 16:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

As a farmer I strongly disagree. This is a serious topic and this information should be spread before the rust itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.214.129.101 (talk) 11:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
