Shimla, March 31 (IANS) A fungal disease called yellow rust, caused by the untimely heavy rainfall in Himachal Pradesh, has partially affected the wheat crop in five districts, a minister said on Tuesday.
Agriculture Minister Sujan Singh Pathania told the assembly: "Yellow rust has partially hit wheat crop in 29 hectares. But there is no report about total damage to the crop."
