Uromyces trifolii-repentis var. fallens is a plant pathogen infecting red clover. Its first detection in Pakistan was in 1990 in the Kaghan Valley.[1] The pathogen is more commonly known as red clover rust. Infected plants will develop yellow spots that eventually brown and become pustules. Preventative measures include minimizing environmental moisture and applying fungicide. Once a plant is infected, it cannot be cured.[2]
