Observations on wheat rusts in Madras State

Abstract

In Madras State the cultivation of wheat is limited to an area of about 2500 acres in all. The major portion of the area is on the Nilgiris and Pulneys and the hills of Salem and North Arcot Districts. In the plains the total extent under this crop may not exceed a hundred acres (in Coimbatore, Salem and Madura Districts). Two crops are raised in a year on the hills while in the plains wheat is sown only during the cold season from November onwards.
