USWBSI Co-Chair Outlines Initiative's Recent Progress & Current Challenges
For the farmer currently confronting Fusarium Head Blight (scab) in his fields, "incremental progress" in research aimed at understanding and controlling this disease may seem a rather empty term. The same goes for the miller or exporter faced with unacceptable levels of vomitoxin/DON in wheat or barley coming to market.
But in the real world of production agriculture, where "silver bullet" solutions to serious problems seldom exist, steady incremental progress is a good thing. It means there´s movement in the right direction, and it implies a continued chipping away at scab´s detrimental impact on affected wheat and barley producers and buyers. [Read more..]
VIGS System Promises to Hasten Development of Varieties Resistant to Fusarium Head Blight
VIGS is not the name of a new candy bar. But it does have all the makings of a sweet ingredient in the ongoing effort to control Fusarium Head Blight (scab) in wheat and barley. [Read more..]
Wheat Grower & USWBSI Co-Chair Reflects Upon Scab Initiative´s Origin, Progress & Challenges
Tom Anderson brings a particularly valuable perspective to the campaign against Fusarium Head Blight (scab). First, he´s a Minnesota wheat grower whose own farm has been seriously impacted by this disease. Second, he was instrumental in obtaining initial federal and state of Minnesota funding for scab research in the mid-1990s. And third, he has served as co-chair of the U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative (USWBSI) since the group´s establishment in the latter ´90s. [Read more..]
