Field trial demonstrates reduced white rust severity in Indian mustard varieties, indicating optimal sowing dates are crucial.

Delay in sowing dates increases white rust severity, with the 5th November sown crop showing a per cent disease intensity of 26.68%.
Among tested varieties, Giriraj exhibited zero per cent disease intensity, while Varuna had a maximum average of 45.14% in the later sowing date.
Field trials were conducted during the rabi season of 2018-19 to evaluate the impact of sowing dates and varieties on white rust.
Managing white rust through sowing times and variety choice is both ecologically sustainable and economically viable.

Sran et al. (2024) studied this question.
