Hi -

Yes, you are on the right track. As soon as the wheat is harvested, get out
there with at least 15 gallons of tea per acre. If you think the tea might
be weak on the fungi, increase the tea applied to 20 or 25 gal per acre.

Then roll the wheat seed in tea with mycorhrizal spores, or drip the tea with
spores into the planting row in front of the seeds as they drop.

Then apply the tea at 5 gal per acre at first true leaf stage, then just
before flowering and then just after seed set. If you know when the spores
of the rust are blowing, then apply weekly during that time, if you can.

Please let me know how it goes!
