Wheat in southern Indian is starting to head out (Feekes 10.1), therefore it is time to monitor FHB risk to make an informed decision if a fungicide application is necessary.

The current and 2 day risk map is showing a medium to high risk (orange/red) for southern Indiana, but as we dry out the 6 day risk goes drops back to low (yellow) for the whole state.

A reminder that if you chose to apply a fungicide the triazole-containing fungicides are best for FHB– see the wheat fungicide efficacy tables for more information at http://doi.org/10.31274/cpn-20190620-031
