Urocystis agropyri incited flag smut of wheat could be managed by growing resistant cvs. like WH 293 or HD 2329. Seed treatment with tubeconazole @ 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g kg−1, or carboxin and carbendazim @ 2.0 and 2.5 g kg−1 seed reduced cent per cent disease incidence. Application of poultry manure @ 4–6 t ha−1 managed flag smut. Nl60P50 kg ha−1 and early or late sowing were found effective in management of the disease.
