Wheat disease? Help identify .

[Marius]

Please help identify wheat disease. I only have this one picture. Was in the rush to finish harvesting.
This was winter wheat after OSR. Quite a lot of rain during the summer. Grain in these affected ears were shriveled and lightweight. I don't think much of it ended up in the tank. Overall it made milling wheat.
Thanks.

It was dusty when harvesting but no fishy smell afterwards.

Maybe loose smut or bunt.

I would say it was whatever caused premature senescence of those tillers, They have not filled so; take all, eyespot or fusarium nodal rot. Hard to tell from photo.

We had quite an intensive rainy period at flowering. So I went ahead and sprained "head and shoulders" spray bit too early, some ears were flowering, some were just emerging. Anyway I am happy with the wheat, it was record yield for me and good quality. I was wondering if could do something different or just accept that nature takes its toll.
Thanks for your replies.

Just nature.

BYDV is my take on it. Have seen a number of times. BYDV doesn’t usually show itself in wheat until the ear begins to fill.
The green ears are usually a bit slimmer and sometimes have a purple tinge.
They never fill properly and have a few small seeds in them.
The black is just secondary infection by sooty mould.

BYDV, I had to read it up on AHDB site.

All wheat crops can end up like this if they get rained on a lot during the summer. Going black and horrible looking. Nothing you can do about it. If it was bunt it would stink.
