Fusarium Head Blight Prediction Online for 2010

The Fusarium Head Blight Prediction Center is again up and running for the 2010 wheat growing season. I will be providing commentary on this site for Wisconsin similar to the previous growing seasons and this commentary often focuses on observations of all diseases we have noted around the state, and more importantly the current range of growth stages we have observed. Also, the U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative will be providing resources to help in communicating the current risk and situation across the wheat growing region. Some additional resources that may be of help as you access this site as well as determine the need for foliar fungicides for control of Fusarium head scab include:

1) Understanding the Fusarium Head Blight Prediction Center

2) Check Your Wheat Closely

Feel free to contact us with any questions and we will provide further updates as the conditions warrant.
