Some moderate risk for FHB susceptible wheat varieties still exists in Cavalier, Towner and Rolette counties and around Devils Lake. Most wheat is well past flowering stage, but growers with any late planted fields of FHB susceptible varieties should consider the risk of FHB in those fields and application of appropriate fungicides at flowering.
