Abstract: Leaf rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia triticina, has been one of the major foliar diseases of wheat. Temperature and moisture are the key climatic factors which interact with leaf rust infection and the rate of disease development. To know the effect of different temperature on rust uredospore germination; various temperature i.e. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35°C were set in a B.O.D. incubator. The studies on effect of temperature on germination of uredospores revealed that maximum per cent spore germination with 6 hours of incubation, was recorded in case of temperature range of 20-25°C. The mean maximum spore germination was recorded at 20°C (92.95%) which was followed by at 25°C (87.65%).
