  • ... that "leek rust", caused by Puccinia allii, is not combatable with any approved fungicide? Source: [1]
  • ALT1: ... that "leek rust", caused by Puccinia allii, has also caused significant losses for garlic farmers?

  • Comment 2: This is my first species article, so i've probably made quite a few glaring mistakes. my apologies in advance! I thought this was a pretty fun (and heart-wrenching) article to spend time on :)

The ALT1 hook should be fine, but before I give it a tick, you need to deal with the clarification tag. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:35, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cwmhiraeth: as the mafia would say, it's been dealt with. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/she) 02:35, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RHS claim

[edit]

Article: "According to the Royal Horticultural Society, there are no fungicides approved for use by amateur gardeners to combat leek rust." I cannot see where this is stated on the cited web page (https://www.rhs.org.uk/disease/leek-rust). I see an introductory paragraph ("Leek rust is a common fungal disease of leeks and garlic, but also affects onions and chives. The fungus causes bright orange, raised spots (pustules) on leaves.") followed by a box of "quick facts", and a "Jump to" section of four downward-pointing arrows that are not functional (i.e., clicking them does not lead anywhere). Where precisely does it say ""There are no fungicides approved for use by amateur gardeners to control leek rust."? Esculenta (talk) 19:05, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Esculenta: I took a screenshot of the article with the beginning of that sentence highlighted, i see it here theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/she?) 19:08, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I am denied access to that Google drive, but generally speaking, it is a problem if we aren't seeing the same thing on the web page. Perhaps it would be a good idea to confirm if others can verify this fact on that page? Esculenta (talk) 19:15, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, my mistake—you should have access now. I'm happy to ask others, as well. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/she?) 19:22, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks, I see it now. It seems those downward pointing arrows work on your browser, but not on mine (I tried both Safari and Chrome). Esculenta (talk) 19:25, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
