Yellow rust in grass

[JPB]

Got a field that's got yellow rust bad. Not much on it but was going to silage it? Will it still make silage or not?

What do you mean yellow rust is the soil deficient In anything the grass may not have enough sugars/energy to ferment properly @greatingrass

Yellow rust is associated more with Cocksfoot it's not crown rust by any chance which likes warm moist weather.

I had it abit in 3rd cut, around the one headland but cutting it cured it.

It's old permanent pasture that's never got going after the drought. Really needs cutting or grazing and getting some slurry or muck on it. It normally grows well and lush but every year it turns yellow at this time of year, if you walk through it you can see the yellow on your wellies. Think it's worse this year with the challenging summer!

I have just baled some grass with cocksfoot that had started to rust very often get it in those fields
Best get it cut before it gets to bad
