Rust disease is a fungal disease that can affect jasmine crops. It is caused by the fungus Uromyces hobsoni. Rust disease can cause significant yield losses in jasmine crops, ranging from 20% to 50% or even higher in severe cases.

Scientific name: Uromyces hobsoni
Type: Fungal Disease
Target: Leaves
Damage: Blister-like pustules on the upper surface of leaves
Environmental favorable factors for pests/Diseases:

Temperature: The ideal temperature range for rust development is between 68°F (20°C) and 86°F (30°C). Temperatures outside of this range can slow down or even inhibit the growth of the fungus.
Humidity: High humidity is crucial for rust development, as it allows the fungal spores to disperse and germinate.

Symptoms of Pest/Disease:

Small, white or chlorotic blister-like pustules on the upper surface of leaves
Yellowish orange colored pustules on the lower side of leaves, young twigs, and flower buds
Infected parts become distorted
Heavily infected leaves turn yellow and fall off

Measures to control Pests/Diseases:

Products	Technical Names	Dosages
Boost	Propiconazole 25 % EC	200-300 ml per acre
KTM	Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP	250-600 grams per acre
SULVET	Sulphur 80 % wdg	750 to 1000 grams per acre
